The traditional swim across the Peace will get a late start to catch the outgoing tide this year. The annual event this 4th starts on the north side of the southbound US 41 bridge at 2 p.m. and ends at Harpoon Harry’s in Fishermen’s Village. Whether you choose to swim, paddle or float, it is recommended participants be at the starting point a half hour early and take the trolley from the Village to the other side of the river. If you'd rather watch, Fishville is planning a full day of entertainment starting at noon with guitarist, Drew Gale, near the Good Ole Days Cafe, Jim Morris from noon near center court and Jim Pappas 3-6 p.m. with Paul Roush rounding out the day at 6 p.m. And of course, Fishville and especially Harpoon's at the end are great places to view the evening fireworks. King Fisher is also offering a "Fireworks Cruise," departing at 7:30. Call 941-639-0969 for prices and availability.
At Laishley Park gates open at 11:00 a.m. for a full day July 4th celebration with over a dozen water slides, bounce house, vendors, food and live music featuring Mary Moss and Emily Cage, Kate Keys Band, The Boogiemen and the Jack-Michael Band after the firewords. Admission is $3 with kids under 12 free.
The Tikibar at the Sheraton will feature American Made on the fourth from 6-9 and also is a viewing spot for the fireworks over the harbor.
