A local summer tradition since 2004, North Port’s Freedom Festival,
presented by American Irrigation, provides families and friends the
chance to celebrate Independence Day together with good food, lively
entertainment, and a spectacular fireworks display. This year the
event will be held at CoolToday Park on July 4, 2019. Gates will be open to the
Public at 4:00 p.m.
Seating will be available both inside the stadium or 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. Also due to licensing requirements, vendors will not be
permitted to sell any Pepsi products. Space is first come, first serve.
Available on the front event lawn of the stadium will be a children’s section which
will include a variety of free activities and much more. Local food vendors are
welcome to join in the fun and serve outside the stadium. Vendor applications are
available at www.cityofnorthport.com
In addition to the stadium concessions inside the ballpark, there will also be a
variety of vendors and community organizations providing informational booths
stationed along the concourse. Live music will be performed throughout the night.
There will also be free activities to commemorate North Port’s 60th Anniversary;
including a chance for kids to run the bases! Free parking will be available outside
the stadium and the public is encouraged to carpool. Be prepared for congestion
and slow-moving traffic as you enter and exit the park, slow and safe is the
motto of the day!
