Locals and tourists plan for the 4th of July

Tuesday, July 4, 2023

Fireworks on the Fourth of July are a big draw when it comes to tourism.

Even locals turn out for the nighttime celebrations.

People are saving their money and traveling cross country to experience the white beaches and multiple fireworks shows Tuesday night.

With the large uptick in traffic, it can only mean one thing. It’s peak tourist season in the Panhandle.

The Independence Day holiday includes many different events in Panama City and Panama City Beach.

Couples, college students, and families have traveled far and wide to enjoy the sights and attractions.

After months of saving up money, one family traveled all the way from Kentucky to see the emerald-green water.

Not only are tourists excited about the holiday but locals are too.

Even though vacationers are looking forward to playing in the gulf, locals are making sure they are aware of their surroundings.

While safety is important having fun along the world’s most beautiful beaches makes the holiday complete.

The gulf may be the reason most tourists come to visit, they are also here for the fireworks. There are a lot of events happening around the panhandle.

Panama City, Panama City Beach, and Lynn Haven are just three of the area’s cities with fireworks displays.
