Free Fireworks Shows & 4th of July Events in Orlando

4th of July events and fireworks in Orlando: image of fireworks bursting over Lake Eola on 4th of July

There’s no need to shell out a ton of cash to buy your own fireworks for the 4th of July in Orlando. You can celebrate America’s birthday and experience magnificent fireworks displays without spending a penny with these free fireworks shows & 4th of July events in Orlando.

Orlando fireworks: image of fireworks show in Orlando

Nothing compares to the amazing fireworks shows that will burst all around Orlando on July 4th. Most Central Florida cities are hosting an afternoon of good old-fashioned fun with games, food, vendors, and a fireworks finale. The firework displays usually start around 9pm.

Make sure to plan ahead. Bring along chairs, a blanket, picnic, and bug spray and be prepared for the crowds. Our favorite way to watch the fireworks is by setting up near the show instead of in the middle of the action. You don’t need to be close to see the sky light up.

Keep in mind that fireworks showtimes will be delayed if it’s raining (which happens often this time of year).
