SeaWorld is celebrating Independence Day with a variety of special events around the park, including a flag ceremony, beer garden, live entertainment, and a dazzling fireworks show to light up the sky. The extended 15-minute Independence Day Fireworks Spectacular show is set to a festive musical soundtrack that will start at 9:40 p.m. Guests who want the best view of the fireworks can purchase reserved seating tickets in advance for seats in the Orca Encounter amphitheater or Sea Lion and Otter Amphitheater.

Earlier in the day, guests ages 21 and older can enjoy SeaWorld’s Red, White and Brew Beer Garden with cold craft beer, delicious foods, and live music by pop-artist Melanie Pfirrman and singer/instrumentalist Natalie O’Brien.
