The Community Redevelopment Agency is having a July Fourth celebration from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Intracoastal Park, 2240 N. Federal Highway.

Kathy Biscuiti, the CRA’s special events director, said the night’s festivities would include live music by the Synthesis Band, a patriotic salute, a fireworks display by Fireworks by Grucci, and food and beverage vendors on site.

“The Fireworks by Grucci is an international company that does fireworks all around the world,” Biscuiti said. “It will also be a fully choreographed show, so it should be great.”

No pets or personal fireworks allowed.

Biscuiti also said park and ride the free shuttle from Bank of America on Federal Highway and Ocean Avenue.

In addition to the CRA’s fireworks, the Sand Sifters, a local beach cleanup group, is having an “All-American Cleanup” from 8 to 10:30 a.m. July 4 at

Gary Solomon, the group’s organizer, said free T-shirts are available while supplies last. In addition, free hot dogs and snacks will be offered.

The July 4 Sand Sifters cleanup will also have free surf lessons by Kahuna Surf School but only for the first 10 to register.

The Sand Sifters will also be collecting items for the Forgotten Soldiers, another local nonprofit that sends monthly care packages to soldiers overseas.

The group is looking for donated item, including beef jerky, trail mix, small bottles of mouthwash, small bottle of foot powder, foiled tuna and letters of encouragement to the soldiers.

For information on the cleanup, call 561-734-9128.

For all local events, the U.S. Coast Guard has issued an advisory with regard to Fourth of July events that are staged in coastal areas. These events have the potential to impact endangered species.

The Coast Guard said vessels should not anchor on a coral reef. If a vessel anchors in the Elkhorn/Staghorn coral critical habitat, it should anchor over a sandy bottom that is free from coral or Johnson's sea grass.

In addition, all vessels should maintain a lookout for endangered species, especially sea turtles and manatees.

If a collision with manatee or marine wildlife occurs, call 888-404-FWCC for rescue and recovery.

Finally, a federal or state agency may impose a civil fine of $25,000 and/or criminal penalty of $50,000 and/or up to one year in jail for violating the Endangered Species Act or state statute by taking an endangered or threatened species or damaging coral.
