If you are looking for things to do for the 4^th there is plenty going on.  It all starts on Thursday with fireworks at the Beach House Restaurant.  It continues on Friday with a huge parade that goes from the south end of the island all the way to the north end.  It goes from Coquina Beach to Pine Avenue and it starts at 10am and will go until about 12pm.  This is the largest parade on Anna Maria Island, and is sure to be fun for the whole family.  It continues that night with another firework show off of Bean point by the Sand Bar restaurant.  From all of us here at AMI Beaches Real Estate have a happy and safe 4^th of July.
