North Beach: Altos Del Mar Park
The city’s own celebration ran 5 to 8 p.m. at Altos Del Mar Park, 76 Street and Collins Avenue, in 2026:
- A family zone with bungee jump stations, a tropical obstacle course, a sports zone, giant yard games and an imagination playground
- Food trucks and a DJ truck
- Live music from DJ Luc, MC Maria Salas and The Miami Beats Band
- “The Star-Spangled Banner” at 6:30 p.m., followed by remarks from Mayor Steven Meiner and the City Commission
Nearby, the Miami Beach Bandshell, 7275 Collins Ave., became a free outdoor roller disco from 5 to 9 p.m. Residents with photo ID got free skate rentals; others brought their own skates or blades.
The night ended with a drone show and fireworks on the beachfront at 76 Street at 9 p.m.
South Beach: Ocean Drive and 12 Street
The Ocean Drive Association, with the city and the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau, hosted the Independence Day Fireworks and Patriotic Concert in Lummus Park at Ocean Drive and 12 Street. The Miami Beach Classical Music Festival orchestra played at 8:30 p.m., and the fireworks began at 9 p.m. The organizers suggested booking a table at one of the Ocean Drive restaurants or bringing beach chairs, blankets and a picnic.
