As the biggest party city in the US, Miami is often the best place to celebrate all sorts of holidays. Be it Christmas or Easter Sunday, you can bet that this city will show you a good time! Of course, this includes the 4th of July too. Though Miami is known for its diversity, it's still as American as ever. As such, it goes all out during the biggest
American holiday too! Celebrating the 4th of July in Miami includes backyard barbecues, beach parties, holiday cruises, and fireworks displays. You'll undoubtedly have a great time here on that special day!
Host a Backyard Barbecue
There are two 4th of July traditions that are the holiday's main staples. The first one is hosting a backyard barbecue. For most Americans, celebrating this holiday is as much about getting together as a family as Thanksgiving is. But while the latter is all about dinner, the former is mostly about having lunch in the backyard. In your own
luxury home in Miami, for instance, you can grill burgers, steaks, hotdogs, and more. What's great about it is that you don't have to spend that much money, reunite with friends & family, and do it even
when you're not in the US!
Though can have fun just about anywhere in
Miami on the 4th of July, the Freedom Fest at Gulfstream Park is arguably a major highlight. Remember about hosting a backyard barbecue on this special holiday? Well, the Freedom Fest is essentially that but on an infinitely larger scale. The Gulfstream Park lays out a whole buffet of barbecue, burgers, and briskets (worth $35.00 per person), a huge party with a live DJ, and some cool performers like jugglers and acrobats. Come nightfall, they end the day with a spectacular fireworks display. What's not to love?
Attend A Beach Party
Speaking of parties, it's to be expected that the many
beaches in Miami host their own every 4th of July. In fact, even when it's not a holiday, you can guarantee that a few shorelines are living it up! What more during the 4th of July? If you party the Miami way, heading to the beach is the way to go. Various beach clubs and seaside resorts host their own 4th of July celebrations, each more exciting than the next. Here, you can expect live DJ sets, lots of dancing, free-flowing drinks, and people going wild.
Go on A Cruise
The 4th of July—or any other holiday, for that matter—is a good excuse to go on a day cruise. It doesn't have to be a luxury cruise where you travel around the world. Sometimes, you just need a couple of hours at sea to take a break and catch your breath. And though the 4th of July commemorates American history and heritage, it's also still a public holiday. Isn't enjoying a day off what holidays are all about? When you've reached your breaking point, especially those who
moved to Miami and have been living here for quite some time, a cruise is just the escape you need!
Watch The Fireworks
Remember the two 4th of July traditions that are the holiday's staples? The first one was hosting a backyard barbecue, but what's the second? Watching fireworks, of course! Apart from New Year's Eve, the 4th of July is the only other day when Americans can put on the most bombastic fireworks displays. And there are a lot of them in Miami too! Whether you're at Freedom Fest at Gulfstream Park, at a beach party, or on a cruise, you can still watch the 4th of July fireworks go off after sundown. It's a great way to end the day!
When you want to go on a holiday trip for the 4th of July, consider going to Miami. The city is already the ultimate party destination in the US, what more during one of the biggest holidays in the country?
