Safety Harbor had a full day of festivities for the Fourth of July. The day started with American Legion Post 238’s annual Fourth of July Parade on Main Street. A ceremony in John Wilson Park followed the parade. In the early evening, people flocked to the Marina Park parking lot for music and food trucks. And, of course, a fireworks celebration capped of the day’s events. (Photos/Jarine Dotson and Kathryn Malaxos)
