Last night's festivities were a lot of fun. This was our 4th year attending, and we've experienced…read morethe event in several different ways -- from the premium tower tickets ($240 for two + fees) to enjoying the evening on the grass at Regatta Island by the water. The staff and volunteers have always been friendly, and the fireworks continue to be the highlight of the show. We had a disappointing experience with the tower tickets in 2025 due to poor food quality and a lack of seating, so this year we decided to return to the field, bring our own picnic, and enjoy a more relaxed night. The weather was perfect, and we loved it. Unfortunately, parking at the end of the event overshadowed an otherwise great night. We purchased a Parking A pass for $40 and arrived early, but were redirected to general parking, which cost $30. Leaving afterward was complete chaos. There were no parking staff directing traffic, and it took us 45 minutes just to get out of the lot. Because of the parking issues, we sadly won't be returning next year. After such a nice eve, the last thing anyone wants is to end it with unnecessary stress. This was the event's 10th year, and it feels like some corners have been cut over time, when it comes to logistics and crowd management. We sincerely hope improvements are made, because the fireworks and waterfront setting truly make this a special community event.

This is my third time at these fireworks. They do not disappoint. They r not horribly crowded, and there is ample parking. The fireworks from the start to finish are excellent, amazing, & breathtaking. The music that is with the fireworks is perfect. This year there were no food trucks but they were not missed. In the past, the lines for the food trucks were forever. Instead they gave out free water and ice cream to everyone. I'm in love with these fireworks and they make the rest of July 4th even more exciting and one to look forward to. I'm thankful for those involved with this fireworks event. It's a go to every year!

If you are father or husband, this is great way to spent time with your family. Open the freedom wallet for your wife to shop and take your kid to the festival activity. This is a well organized block party. Love every minutes of it. It starts with pageant contest and follows by the freedom bicycle decoration contest, watermelon eating contest, parade, fireworks. The Paseo Drive is filling with people. The kid activities include hokey stick goal shot, balloon sword, acrobat elastic jump, face painting, moon wall, air slice, pirate ship invasion and many more. For adult, you know what to do. I was introduced by a vendor for Wikid Watermelon for the custom watermelon kegs and carving. The carving is beautiful for special event. Overall the party is great. People make up this party. The Shop of Wiregrass is smart to hold this party one day before the July 4 with fireworks. It get the maximum people without compete for the actual July 4 fireworks with many locations.

In previous years, they held it at different parks through out Tampa. I really liked this better. That way fireworks were all in one place. These fireworks were amazing. The park is huge so it's nice and spacious for everyone. They had some food trucks, they had a stage and when we were there they had country music which I don't like, but I wasn't there too long before fireworks happened. The one bad thing was the fireworks were so close the ashes fell on top of us. But for real amazing fireworks and so happy we left St. Pete Beach early to see them.

Parking was a bit tricky we had to park on the opposite side and walk over. And then, of course it took some time to find a spot on the grass to sit and watch the movie. We got there a little before the movie started so if you plan to go just get there early for better seating. The quality of the movie was good and so was the audio. We decided to get pizza from blaze for dinner to enjoy while we watched the movie. It was a really good time. After the movie was over, we brought all our stuff back to the car and walked around a bit to check out the Christmas trees and also view the Christmas lights. They do such a fantastic job every year it gets better and better.

Last time we were here we saw gators, raccoons, squirrels, the cutest wild bunnies and a variety of large & small birds including roseate spoonbills. There are plenty of benches along the path and it's really nice to be able to sit down and watch the view and the wildlife. V

The atmosphere at the Joker Marchant Stadium when it's game day is so much fun, really good vibes…read more I had been here previously for a holiday party up in the conference rooms and it was night and day different. People get there EARLY. I'm talking, I was there 2+ hours before 1st pitch and there were at least a couple rows of cars and more coming already. It gets packed fast so just be aware of that if you're driving. Workers do a good job directing people on the way in, but on the way out it's pretty much a mess. This field and facility are very well maintained. Everything seemed fairly clean, considering how big of a space it is. There is a big lawn behind center field where a lot of young kids run around trying to catch home run balls from the team warmups. It's very family-oriented, just a great and enjoyable atmosphere. The worst part are certainly the prices. If you're not willing to pay minimum $50 at the gift shop don't even walk in there, that was obscene. The food prices are definitely up there as well, but it is still a professional sporting event and that's just how food prices are for that so you have to keep that in mind and be prepared. Also, security can get a little weird if you're not in the main seating area. They make you scan your ticket multiple times to where it gets a little ridiculous. Not a fan of that or the Tigers, to be honest, but I'd come back again because there's few things better than being out at the ball game!
