CLEARWATER, FL — As coronavirus cases continue to drop across the country while the number of those who are fully vaccinated continues to rise, residents are emerging from their cocoons and resuming their traditional celebrations including Fourth of July festivities.

Clearwater Celebrates America

Where: Baycare Ballpark, 601 Old Coachman Road, Clearwater

When: Sunday, July 4 at 7 p.m. with a fireworks show starting at 9:15 p.m. set to choreographed music.

What: The annual celebration is temporarily relocating from its traditional venue at Coachman Park to BayCare Ballpark due to the construction of the Imagine Clearwater gateway project at Coachman Park.

Prior to the fireworks, there will be a concert featuring The Black Honkeys Band, activities and giveaways. All-American concessions will include hamburgers, hot dogs and popcorn as well as adult beverages.

Clearwater Celebrates America is a ticketed event. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at BayCare Ballpark by calling 727-467-4457 or online.

There are two ticket options: berm access or reserved seating.

A berm ticket gives access to activities on the concourse and standing room on both the berm and the field near the concert stage. A reserved seating ticket gives access to activities on the concourse, a guaranteed seat throughout the night and no access to the berm or field. Parking is included.

Those planning to attend should purchase their tickets in advance. There is expected to be a big demand for a limited number of tickets.
