🎆 Celebrate Independence Day in Panama City Beach with Fireworks on the Beach
What better way to celebrate the Fourth of July than with fireworks lighting up the sky over the Gulf? Panama City Beach hosts the largest fireworks display on the Gulf Coast, with shows launching from multiple locations across several nights—giving you plenty of chances to catch the magic.
And if you'd rather skip the crowds and parking hassles, you can enjoy a private, front-row seat to the show from our unit perched on the 22nd floor of Calypso Resort. Watch the spectacular displays unfold right from the comfort of your balcony with panoramic views of the beach below. It’s the perfect way to take in the celebration—stress-free and unforgettable.
