2021 Independence Day events in Southwest Florida for Families
Start the summer with a bang! Last year's holiday festivities were canceled and we were left to celebrate Independence day from home. But this year some cities and businesses have organized special events from Cape Coral to Naples, for you to enjoy with all your favorite people. We have rounded up a few local events for you to have a rocking Fourth of July!

01 Morning Festivities
Get the most out of this holiday by starting the day early. Whether you choose to participate or spectate the view of the sunrise will be worth it (weather permitting). Or, cook a homemade breakfast with the family and catch the parade downtown.
