Looking for 4th of July plans around Ocala, Florida? Whether you want the big fireworks show or a slow, low-key holiday, Marion County has a version of Independence Day for you. I pulled my favorite ways to celebrate into one place so you are not scrambling on the 3rd.
Six Ways to Celebrate Independence Day Near Ocala
Fireworks on the water at Eaton's Beach. If you want the classic show with a view, the lakefront is hard to beat.
Cool off in the springs at Salt Springs Recreation Area. A clear, cold spring is the most Florida way there is to spend a hot holiday afternoon.
Catch the parade at the America 250 Patriotic Parade. Flags, floats, and a hometown feel for the country's big anniversary year.
Stars, Stripes and Art at the Appleton Museum of Art. Escape the heat indoors and make the holiday a little more cultured.
4th in the Park at Tuscawilla. A relaxed, family-friendly way to celebrate close to downtown.
A Freedom Run at Iggy's 4 on the Fourth. Start the holiday with a morning run before the cookouts begin.
Why I Put This Together
Part of my job as an Ocala real estate agent is knowing what makes life here good, not just what is for sale. The holidays are when Marion County shows off, and the people deciding whether to plant roots here are paying attention. So every season I round up what is worth your time.
