Celebrate the 4th of July in Downtown Frankfort!

10:00 AM | The 4th of July Parade
Kick off the day with a Frankfort tradition! Our parade travels right down Main Street, featuring local organizations, bands/music, fun floats, and plenty of candy for the kids.

12:00 PM – 2:00 PM | Sandcastle Contest
Head down to Frankfort Beach to see (or create!) works of art in the sand. Whether you’re a master architect or just want to play in the dunes, come out to compete for local bragging rights. Contest signup takes place at the tent located right off the boardwalk - look for the signs!

Between the big events, take time to explore everything our downtown has to offer. Stroll through our shops, or head over to the beach turnaround to grab a bite from local food trucks. Need to beat the heat? Duck into a local pub or cafe for a refreshing drink and soak up the festive Frankfort atmosphere!

7:00 PM | Fireworks Pre-Show
As the sun begins to dip, the energy shifts to the Frankfort Pier. Join us for a live DJ helping to get the crowd ready for the main event.

Dusk | Grand Finale Fireworks
The highlight of the year! Find a spot on Frankfort Beach or along the shoreline. As soon as the sky is dark enough, we’ll launch a spectacular display off the Frankfort pier over the water.
