Join the City of North Port for our rescheduled Freedom Festival, presented by American Irrigation. This family-friendly signature event includes fun activities, great vendors, plenty of food options, and of course fireworks. 

The event will kick off with an unforgettable opening ceremony! Imagine at North Port Young Marines will present the colors for the National Anthem, to be performed by Jennifer Montalvo, followed by an awe-inspiring flyover by the Gulf Coast Raptors Formation Flight Team. The ceremony will conclude with inspiring remarks from City officials. It’s the perfect way to wrap up the summer!

On the front Event Lawn of the stadium will be a Patriotic Play Zone, which will feature free activities including bounce houses, lawn games, music, and more. We will also offer a low-sensory area for children with special needs.

Inside the stadium, you'll find Firecracker Lane, a lively stretch along the concourse featuring a variety of vendors and community organizations offering goods and information. Live music will be performed throughout the night for all to enjoy from the stands.

Seating will be available both inside the stadium and outside on the Event Lawn. If watching the fireworks show from the Event Lawn, the public is welcome to bring blankets or chairs to enjoy the show. No personal fireworks, sparklers, animals, or stickers will be permitted.
