U.S. Independence Day 2009 on Sanibel Island Has Arrived!

Sanibel Island Beach Fourth of JulyWell, it’s that time of year again… One of the most fun events on Sanibel and Captiva Islands is always our Fourth of July Festivities!

This year we celebrate the 19th Annual Sanibel Island Fourth of July Parade featuring beautiful floats and fun activities for everyone to come out and enjoy.

The Annual Parade begins Saturday morning at 9:30am on the corner of Tarpon Road and Periwinkle Way with a big old-fashioned BBQ lunch at Bailey’s Center just after the parade.  Do not miss out on this!

The afternoon is action-packed watching the oldest July 4th annual event on the Island and that it the Sanibel Island Road Rally - which is really a mind-bending scavenger hunt based on clues to be found and followed around the island.  Around 30 cars/groups participate and believe me, it can get quite exciting out there as the competition heats up over the 2-3 hours until someone finds (and deciphers!) all the clues and wins!  This is really fun to watch!!

Lastly, fireworks will begin at sundown at the end of Bailey Road and this year promises to be one of the best years ever, so do not miss out on these either!

You can read about all the details of any of these activities right here at Captiva-Sanibel.com

Overall, a very fun day is to be had by all and Rob and I look forward to seeing you all out there enjoying yourselves…

We’re only a week out, so make your plans now!

I also found a new toy called “Wordle and was playing with it.  I made a few flyers below that are all about our festivities next Saturday, so if you want to click on them to enlarge and then right-click and save, or print them out, you can certainly feel free to do so!  Enjoy!
