Every year, businesses and organizations alike construct a float or drive a beautiful luxury car through the streets of Downtown Naples to celebrate this holiday. This year, the parade will start at 10am on July 4 on Broad Avenue S., then head to Third Street S., 5th Avenue S., and 8th Street S. past City Hall, ending at 8th Avenue S. and 8th Street S.

The City of Naples always hosts an amazing fireworks display on the beach at the Naples Pier.
