Important Information for Attendees

As with any major event, there are a few important things to keep in mind for a smooth and safe experience. For safety reasons, personal fireworks, glass containers, alcohol, drones, and pets are strictly prohibited at the event. The Fisher Family Pier will also be closed on July 4th but will reopen during regular hours on July 5th.

If you’re planning to drive, parking is available at the end of Atlantic Blvd and A1A, including street parking and the pier garage. However, please note that parking in the pier garage will be $20 (cash only, no refunds). For those who prefer to avoid the parking hassle, there are several alternatives to get to the event with ease.

Skip the Hassle and Ride in Style

To make your journey easier, there are several options for transportation to and from the event. Ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft are available, with drop-off and pick-up points located west of the Intracoastal Bridge. Be prepared for a short walk to the waterfront, but this will give you a chance to enjoy the area before the festivities begin.

Another convenient and eco-friendly option is Circuit, the city’s on-demand electric shuttle. The service is perfect for short trips around the beach area and is available via the “Ride Circuit” app. As this service may get busy during peak times, it’s a good idea to plan ahead.
