One of Coral Gables’ most anticipated events will take place on Monday, July 4, when a grand fireworks display will illuminate the skies above of the historic Biltmore Hotel. More than 32,000 people gathered last year to celebrate our nation’s independence.
“Our annual Fourth of July celebration on the beautiful green golf courses of the Biltmore Hotel has become a hallmark event for families, couples, and groups of friends to celebrate our nation’s birth; everybody loves it,” said Gables Mayor Jim Cason.
While the City of Coral Gables and the Biltmore Hotel are the major sponsors of this much-loved celebration, they are joined by Coral Gables Hospital, University of Miami, and several other corporate citizens to present this hometown event.
This year’s event will include patriotic anthems provided by the Greater Miami Symphonic Band. CBS4 news anchor Rick Folbaum will be the emcee. An awe-inspiring fireworks show will begin at 9 p.m.
