This year’s featured entertainment will be the Bo Springs Band. The Red, White and Blue Parade coordinated by Franklin’s Promise Coalition starts at Lafayette Park at 6:30. This Apalachicola tradition welcomes golf carts, people on bicycles, and even dogs to get decked out in patriotic colors and join in. Free ice cream brings everyone together at Riverfront Park at the end of the parade. The fireworks are launched from a barge in the river, creating a spectacular display of lights over the water.
