250 United

Bayfront Park has hosted a lot of Fourth of July celebrations over the years, but nothing quite like this one. America turns 250, and Miami is marking it with an all-day free concert on the waterfront. Hosted by IRIE at Bayfront Park, the lineup runs R&B to reggae, with Ashanti and Ja Rule sharing a stage in Miami for the first time in years, joined by 112 featuring Slim and Mike, The Fray, Shaggy, Willy Chirino, and Orlando Mendez. The night closes with a midnight fireworks spectacular and a drone show over the bay. It also happens to be the final day of the FIFA World Cup Fan Zone at Bayfront, with the Semi-Finals on the big screen, so you can catch the match and stay for the concert.
