— Where to Watch Fireworks in Miami in 2024

First, as tried and true Miamians, who’ve seen many a fireworks show here, we’ve got some general pointers on where to watch the many 4th of July fireworks in Miami so that you're sure to get an amazing view of, likely not just one show, but many. It’s not uncommon to see fireworks all over the horizon, depending on where you are.

  1. A Boat! With water surrounding us, having a boat offers one of the best vantage points to enjoy Miami’s 4th of July fireworks. Out on the water, you'll be among numerous other boaters sharing in the festivities from some of the finest viewing spots available, especially anywhere in Biscayne Bay. Most of Miami’s 4th of July fireworks are launched from floating docks in the bay, so if you’re on a boat, you’ll get some the best views around. One of the many other perks of watching from your boat or yacht is that you can have a much more intimate affair and avoid the crowds. And, you can easily motor to other vantage points. If, on the contrary, you like to be where the social action is but prefer to do it on the water, many companies offer cruises or parties to enjoy with others.

  2. Your Condo’s Rooftop or Pool Deck! With so many stunning options of condo rooftops in Miami, your condo’s rooftop or pool deck is easily one of the best places to watch the 4th of July fireworks in Miami, especially if there are amenities like a summer kitchen and grill to complete the experience! Gather your friends and family and get ready for an unforgettable experience. And check with your condo or Miami apartment building – many already have 4th of July fireworks viewing parties planned. Just show up!

  3. At the Beach! After a long day in the sun celebrating the 4th of July in Miami, linger a little longer as day fades to night to catch some of Miami’s most spectacular fireworks shows. From North Beach to South Beach and Key Biscayne, you’ll be sure to witness some amazing fireworks wherever you find yourself on the sand. 

Now, if you want to get close to the action and make a full day of the celebration with an organized event, here are the best fireworks shows in Miami and Miami Beach.

Real Estate News Q3 2024 Miami Luxury Condo Market Summary: Sales Down, Prices Up in Buyer’s Market
What’s Miami’s luxury real estate market been up to? Well, with an expected slowdown after a high-paced second quarter, Miami’s luxury housing market downshifted into a softer cycle in Q3 2024.  While there was a decline in sales volume, prices increased and the average number of days on the market remained consistent year-over-year. This indicates that Miami's luxury condo market remained steady even as it has transitioned into a buyer's market with moderate surplus of luxury inventory. But another trend has emerged, and that is the Miami market has established a new definition of luxury.   This third quarter, the combined neighborhood of Coconut Grove & Coral Gables, continued outperforming all other neighborhoods in our quarterly analysis by reporting the highest percentage sales growth, fastest time to sell/lowest days on market, and lowest levels of inventory.  As we head into the 4th quarter, which is historically known to be the slowest of the year, and with the...
