Fireworks at the Fountain Returns to Orlando
Orlando natives and visitors on vacation — you are invited to celebrate Independence Day in The City Beautiful!
This 4th of July, which falls on a Friday in 2025, the city will host its 48th annual Fireworks at the Fountain celebration.
Details for this year’s event are coming soon. In the meantime, here’s what you can look forward to based on last year’s incredible festivities.
July 4th Fun for the Whole Family
Fireworks at the Fountain is a free, family-friendly tradition that takes place at Lake Eola Park in the heart of downtown Orlando.
The fun kicks off at 4 p.m. when the park transforms into a patriotic playground with activities, treats, and fanfare all around the park.
Last year’s event featured everything from bounce houses to hands-on crafts, making it easy to keep little ones entertained until dusk.
Adults and kids alike chowed down on delicious local eats and refreshing drinks, like ice cream and festival fare.
As the night unfolded, live performances filled the park with energy and excitement, leading up to an appearance by Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer. The awe-inspiring firework display lit up the night at 9:15 p.m, with a grand finale set to patriotic music by the Orlando Concert Band.
Fireworks at the Fountain is a magical way to spend your July 4th in Orlando.
