"I am so excited this event is back it's a great one - yay can't wait!"

The rockets’ red glare will once again dominate the night sky over Coral Gables as the city’s much-loved July 4^th celebration returns next month.

After a budget-related hiatus of several years, the event will resume for America’s 236^th birthday thanks to the city of Coral Gables, Bacardi U.S.A., Inc., the Biltmore Hotel, University of Miami and the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce, along with several other corporate citizens.

The city announced the event’s return on Friday, June 8, saying: “The rumors are true!”
This year’s celebration will include a special concert by the Greater Miami Symphonic Band, concessions, patriotic mascots and a spectacular fireworks display.

The celebration will begin at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, July 4, at the Biltmore Hotel, 1200 Anastasia Ave., with the concert at 7 p.m. and fireworks at 9 p.m. Admission is free.
