Summary
- Annual raft race celebrated Fourth of July at Bryant Park.

- West Palm Beach waterfront hosted a laser and fireworks display.
This past July 4th, Lake Worth Beach hosted its annual Great American Raft Race at Bryant Park, drawing local neighborhoods and civic groups to the Intracoastal Waterway. The festivities commenced with a morning parade, featuring teams embracing the "Tropics Time Machine: L-Dub thru the Decades" theme. Winning teams competed for bragging rights, a $100 prize, and the "Grunge Cup."
Originating in 2002 to highlight the Intracoastal Waterway's condition, the race has evolved into a celebration of the waterway and local outdoor spaces. Simultaneously, West Palm Beach's waterfront buzzed with the 4th on Flagler event, commemorating America's 250 years of independence. Attendees enjoyed music, a flag ceremony, and family activities.
