Coca-Cola Presents Miami Beach Fire on the Fourth Festival
– Free Entertainment, Fireworks & Performance by Legendary Band The Wailers –
Miami Beach, FL: Celebrate the red, white and blue this Independence Day at South
Florida’s premier outdoor festival. Enjoy day-long entertainment and activities for the
entire family at Miami Beach’s North Beach Bandshell Park on Collins Avenue and 73
Street.
Sponsored by Coca-Cola, this outdoor festival kicks-off at 11 a.m. with free yoga on the
beach by GreenMonkey and food trucks beginning at 11:30 a.m. Free entertainment with
DJs and a kid zone featuring a rock climbing wall, bungee station, inflatable slide and a
face painting station will follow at noon. Take in the sounds of Miami favorites Spam
AllStars at 3 p.m. and Inner Circle at 5:15 p.m., followed by the band that put reggae on
the map — The Wailers at 7:30 p.m. The event concludes by lighting up the night skyline
bright with a spectacular fireworks show at 9 p.m.
The Wailers Band brought reggae to the attention of the world outside of Jamaica.
Through the concerted musical support they supplied during the 1970s, the band helped
elevate Bob Marley to achieve the status of the first “Third World Superstar,” and in the
process, brought the reggae of their native Caribbean island to audiences on every
continent.
A free shuttle service will operate from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. between the 42 Street garage
(stop located southbound Sheridan Avenue north of 41 Street) and the North Beach
Bandshell. Service frequency is 30 minutes. In addition, attendees can use the free
citywide trolley service operating from 6 a.m. to midnight (exception is Alton-West Loop
which operates 8 a.m. to midnight). Service frequency for the trolleys is 10-15 minutes.
