Fun Ways to Celebrate the Fourth of July in Jacksonville

If you’re not biking First Street, on the sand or cooling off in the pool on July 4th, are you really doing it right? We love Jacksonville for a million reasons, and it’s all made clear when we come together and celebrate our freedom. In a few short days we’ll all celebrate our great country, whether it’s next to your custom pools or at a bar with friends. Here are some tips from a local on how to spend your Fourth of July in Jacksonville this year:

Grab Your Beach Cruiser and Bounce between Parties

This is the classic way Jax, Neptune and Atlantic Beach locals like to spend their day off. Plenty of homes up and down the beach have beautiful custom pools. Call your friend with the best backyard setup (hey, we all have at least one) and subtly hint at the idea of a party.

Start the morning with mimosas before getting on the bikes with your friends and family. Welcoming homeowners will have water slides set up, open bars and fun music. This scene can get a bit rowdy, so it’s best saved for thrill-seeking adults.

Plan a Themed Pool Party for the Whole Family

If you do have a great custom pool at your house, you probably don’t want to leave your little slice of paradise. We don’t blame you! Invite your neighbors over for swimming, a delicious cookout and much-needed relaxation.

You can all keep an eye on the kids, sip your cocktails and enjoy the perks of a private backyard. Fun pool features like a sun shelf and a wet bar will become the stars of the show on a day like July Fourth. If your pool has LED lights that change colors, set them to red and blue to really put your guests in the right spirit.

Hit the Beach with a Stocked Cooler

It’s going to be a hot one out there, that’s for sure! Stock your cooler with water, food and beer to make the most of a day in the direct sunlight. Bring some fun beach games for the family, like cornhole and a football.

Want access to a pool and facilities while you’re at the beach? Look into purchasing a day pass from a local hotel or beach club.

Spend Your Summer in Style this Year

At the end of the day, the absolute best way to spend a hot summer holiday is at your own pool surrounded by the people you love. Custom pools of all price points are popular in neighbors all around Jacksonville and the beaches.
