SUMMARY:Light It Up\, Clearwater
DESCRIPTION:Fireworks will light up the sky at midnight.  Watch from all along Clearwater Beach\, especially near the southern end. Note that the fireworks will be set off from the north end of Sand Key\, across the bridge from Clearwater Beach. Sand Key Park will be closed to the public. One viewing location with several advantages isn’t actually in Clearwater Beach. Coachman Park is on the mainland in Clearwater near the bridge to the beach. The fireworks should be easily visible over that bridge and\, if you’re not staying beachside\, viewing fireworks from the mainland could help avoid some of the traffic to and from the beach.    The park’s performance space\, The Sound\, will be dark that night.  |  Coachman Park\, 301 Drew Street\, Clearwater\, FL 33755  |  https://lightitupclearwater.com/ \n
