FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 7, 2021…The City of Vero Beach is delighted to announce the return of fireworks on the Fourth of July, to Riverside Park thanks to the collaboration of multiple businesses and community members. The presenting sponsor is Mulligan’s Beach House, in cooperation with the City of Vero Beach and Indian River County. EverGreen Media at Idea Garden is assisting with the planning of “Boom On The Lagoon” on Sunday, July 4th, 2021 from 5 to 9pm.

Donna Roberts-Mitchell of PlanetVero reminisced that over 20 years ago, she and then media mogul the late Jim Pagano raised funds to make a fourth of July fireworks event happen in Vero Beach. Said Mitchell, “It is nice to be back, and with the power of EverGreen’s visual and digital elements and I-Heart, we’ve got a strong team to reach out to all demographics on all different media.”
“We are looking forward to welcoming families with their lawn chairs and blankets for the kind of Fourth of July celebration that defines the American experience,” said Tammy Bursick of the City of Vero Beach. Angie Schepers, Marketing Executive for Mulligans Beach House agreed. “We just couldn’t stand the thought of no fireworks for another year in Vero Beach. Mulligans Beach House stepped in early to make sure this event happened for our community!”
Spectacular fireworks by Zambelli Fireworks start at 9pm – bring your chairs & blankets. Additional sponsorships are still available.
