Patriotic Skies

Celebrate Independence Day with an unforgettable evening at Patriotic Skies, hosted by Ocala Recreation and Parks in partnership with Ocala Main Street at beautiful Tuscawilla Park.

This free, family-friendly event kicks off with live music to get you dancing, a variety of food vendors serving up everything from savory bites to sweet treats, and a fun-filled Kids Zone packed with games and activities for all ages. As the sun sets, gather with friends and family, lay out your blankets and chairs, and get ready for the grand finale—a spectacular fireworks display presented by Ocala Main Street that will light up the night sky in a dazzling tribute to America’s birthday. Whether you're there for the entertainment, the food, or simply to soak in the patriotic spirit, Patriotic Skies is the perfect way to celebrate the Fourth of July in true Ocala style!
