Fireworks at Little Jim is one of Fort Pierce’s most beloved Independence Day traditions, drawing locals and visitors alike to the iconic Little Jim Bait & Tackle area near the Little Jim Bridge for a spectacular patriotic display. What sets this event apart is its laid-back, waterfront charm — watching fireworks light up the night sky over the Indian River from this classic Old Florida fishing spot creates a one-of-a-kind atmosphere you won’t find at a larger venue.
The Little Jim Bridge area offers a relaxed, community-feel vantage point that regulars return to year after year. It’s a perfect complement to the other Fort Pierce events that make the holiday weekend so festive along the Treasure Coast. Arrive early to find a good spot along the water and soak in the warm summer evening before the show begins.
Whether you’re a longtime local or just discovering everything Fort Pierce has to offer, this fireworks show is a quintessential Treasure Coast Fourth of July experience that brings the community together in celebration.
