Celebrate America’s 250th Birthday on Boggy Bayou with the Light Up the Bayou Fireworks Spectacular.
The 2026 4th of July fireworks display, visible from the shores of Valparaiso and Niceville, will take place at 8:45 pm when fireworks are launched from a floating platform in the middle of the bayou.
Sound Associates will be back to provide music starting at 6 pm, including the soundtrack synced with the fireworks show. Speakers will be positioned on the fire dock at Lions Park to allow audio to reach up, down, and across the bayou.
For those who plan to arrive at Lincoln Park early to secure a prime vantage point for the show, food trucks will be set up and ready to serve by 5 pm. There will also be food trucks at Lion Park in Niceville.
