Celebrate4th of July Weekend

This year marks a milestone unlike any other as America celebrates 250 years, and there’s no better place to spend Fourth of July Weekend than at Hawks Cay Resort in the Florida Keys.

We start the celebration on July 3 with First Friday on the Promenade, where Hawks Cay Marina transforms into one of the best waterfront parties in the Florida Keys with live music, local vendors, cold cocktails, and marina-front energy. The celebration continues on July 4 with a poolside American BBQ, live entertainment throughout the resort, and a spectacular fireworks display over the Atlantic Ocean.

Friday, July 3rd

FRI JUL 3 | Live music from Just George & the Plus Ones

As America prepares to celebrate 250 years of independence, we’re kicking off the holiday weekend with an extra-special First Friday on the Promenade. From 5–9 PM, the marina docks fill with friends, neighbors, and resort guests enjoying live music, cold cocktails, local vendors, and the waterfront energy that makes First Friday the best waterfront party in the Middle Keys.

Come dressed in your best patriotic attire—throughout the evening, Hawks Cay team members will be on the lookout for the most impressive red, white & blue style, with resort prizes awarded to standout guests.
