Peacock Park is getting ready to light up the bay as Coconut Grove hosts "Red, White & Grove: 250 United" on Saturday, July 4, an evening of live music, local food and family activities that will wrap with a waterfront fireworks show around 9 p.m. The free public celebration, billed as part of the nation's 250th anniversary observances, is expected to draw thousands to the bayfront lawn.
Presented by the Coconut Grove Business Improvement District in partnership with the City of Miami and District 2 Commissioner Damian Pardo, the program will bring a Taste of the Grove food area together with carnival-style activities and family programming, according to Community Newspapers.
Who's Playing
Headlining the night is Tony Succar and his band, joined by Orlando Mendez, billed as "The Cuban Cowboy," with DJ M-Dot serving as host, per the event listing on Eventbrite. The lineup is set to mix salsa, Latin pop and family-friendly sets to keep the crowd going well into the evening.
About The Headliner
Tony Succar brings fresh accolades to the Grove. He and his mother Mimy Succar won the 2025 Grammy for Best Tropical Latin Album, and he has previously earned multiple Latin GRAMMYs, according to GRAMMY.com. That pedigree gives the BID a marquee musical draw for this milestone year.
What To Expect
Attendees can expect a Taste of the Grove where local restaurants and culinary vendors will serve samples, kid-friendly inflatables and lawn seating, with the evening ending in a waterfront fireworks display beginning at approximately 9 p.m., per the Coconut Grove BID event calendar. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the bayfront setting while vendors and programming run through the fireworks.
Getting There
Organizers recommend alternative transit for the expected crowd, including The Underline, Circuit micro-transit services and a complimentary bike valet, according to Community Newspapers. With limited parking typical for holiday fireworks, attendees are advised to plan ahead and use nearby restaurants, hotels or ride services if they drive.
