Hamel Park, the Sarasota Downtown Enrichment Association hosts a festival featuring food trucks and live music from bands Big Night Out and Twinkle. The parade, which begins at 8 p.m., will go from Mound Street and Orange Avenue to Bayfront Drive and Main Street, followed by the national anthem performed by “American Idol” singer Alana Sherman. The fireworks display will launch around 9 p.m. with seating around Island Park, the bayfront and downtown. Free.

 
Siesta Key: The Siesta Key Community Fireworks show, now in its 30th year, has families and friends flocking to Siesta Key’s white-sand beaches for an evening of fun. The event, put together by the Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce, hosts the community event on Siesta Key Beach. Fireworks are free, but the event has sponsorships available that provide free parking, free beverages and snacks, as well as preferred seating at the hospitality area for the best view. Viewing area opens at 6 p.m., and fireworks start at dusk.
 
Venice: There are few better ideas than traveling down Tamiami Trail to catch the impressive fireworks show launch from the south jetty at Venice Beach around 9 p.m. The free, 30-minute show can be checked out at several area beaches from Caspersen to Nokomis. The south jetty and Jetty Jack’s Refreshment Deck will be closed to the public.  For more information click — >>> here
