Fourth of July Fireworks Are Temple Terrace Tradition

The best place to watch the Independence Day fireworks display is the first fairway of the Temple Terrace golf course.

The fourth of July is arguably the biggest day of the year in Temple Terrace, and it’s capped off annually with a free fireworks display.

Fireworks will light up the sky for the 39th year in Temple Terrace near the Temple Terrace Golf & Country Club. The display begins at 9:15 p.m. and can best be seen from the first fairway of the Temple Terrace golf course, between Belle Terre and Woodmont avenues.
