Jacksonville's 4th of July Fireworks Celebration
"Jacksonville residents love celebrating Independence Day. So it’s only logical that they throw massive 4th of July parties, shows, and ceremonies annually. Let’s see what visitors should expect. The 4th of July is a great time for pub and bar crawling in Jacksonville. Numerous rooftop bars open their doors to residents and guests of the city. This way, you’ll be able to witness beautiful fireworks and breathtaking views from one of the many rooftops. On Independence Day, Americans have a small tradition of going to restaurants for an all-time classic—burgers. So if you want to celebrate the 4th of July the American way, head to a burger restaurant in Jacksonville. Chances are, your meal will also include french fries and a topping of your choice."
