Coconut Grove Sparkled at the 18th Annual Independence Day Celebration at Peacock Park 🇺🇸

July 4th was pure magic in the heart of Coconut Grove.

Peacock Park came alive with pride, music, and a strong sense of community during the 18th Annual Independence Day Celebration. Under the warm Miami sky, thousands gathered for an evening that perfectly blended local charm with patriotic spirit.

The sounds of live music filled the park as families sprawled out on picnic blankets and lawn chairs, soaking in performances by talented local bands and performers. The Taste of the Grove brought the neighborhood’s culinary scene to life, offering mouthwatering bites from local favorites like Meraki, Bartaco, New York Roma Pizza, Loretta & The Butcher, Oasis and delicious deserts by Chill’n Ice Cream and Fookem’s Fabulous Key Lime Pie.

For the little ones, the Family Fun Zone was a hit, packed with inflatables, games, arts and crafts and endless entertainment that kept their energy buzzing. 

Then, at 9:00 PM, the night sky exploded into a dazzling display of fireworks, painting the heavens in brilliant shades of red, white, and blue. Cheers and applause echoed through the Grove as people of all ages came together to celebrate freedom, community, and the joy of being part of something bigger.

🙌 A Heartfelt Thanks to Our Community Leaders

This incredible night wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of the City of Miami and the Coconut Grove Business Improvement District (BID). Their unwavering commitment to fostering community and culture made this celebration one for the books. Thank you for bringing the Grove together for another unforgettable Independence Day event!
