4th of July Weekend in Bal Harbour Village

If you’re after luxe vibes and a beach-chic crowd this Fourth of July, Bal Harbour Village is hard to beat. On the northern tip of Bal Harbour Beach by the jetty (10301 Collins Ave), you’ll catch one of Miami’s most dazzling drone and fireworks shows, lighting up the sky on July 4th at 9pm and open to all. Around the Village, the resorts are getting festive, too: The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour hosts a poolside BBQ with a live DJ and Tito’s cocktails (July 4 and 5, noon–4pm), while Atlantikos at the St. Regis Bal Harbour will put on a coastal-inspired brunch with elaborate dishes and live stations (July 4, 12:30–4pm). Later, the St. Regis rolls out its rendition of a bougie summer cookout (July 4, evening) complete with BBQ classics, a raw bar and decadent desserts—basically the most stylish fireworks pregame we can imagine.
