Info from City of Lakeland and Lakeland PD –
Road closures will begin at 5PM
Red White and Kaboom is here! Our officers are dedicated to making this a fun and safe event! Please look over the road closure map.
We have a plan and you’re part of that plan; so we ask that if you see something, say something. If you see something that doesn’t look right or looks suspicious, find the closest law enforcement officer and report it or give us a call. We need everyone else’s eyes and ears out there to give us information.
We also offer these reminders:
- Don’t drink and drive. Designate a driver who will stay sober. Give them your keys or call a taxi.
- Make sure to stay hydrated.
- If you encounter a drunk driver, call 9-1-1.
- Put the phone down. Don’t text and drive.
- Observe posted speed limits, especially in neighborhoods and around parks.
- Leave the fireworks to the professionals, put safety first, and enjoy the fun at Red, White, and Kaboom!

Event details:
The T.Mims Corp. Red, White & Kaboom Independence Celebration will take place at Lake Mirror along the Frances Langford Promenade on Wednesday, July 3rd, from 6:00 p.m. – 9:15 p.m. with Gary Love and the Moonlighters entertaining the crowd before a dazzling fireworks display launches at 9:00 p.m.
Don’t forget the canned & non-perishable food items!
Tom Mims, President of T. Mims Corporation said, “We are very excited to sponsor Red, White & Kaboom again this year, and I know the community is looking forward to an awesome event. It is an excellent opportunity for our community to come together to celebrate our great country with live music and fireworks.” He added, “We ask all those attending to please bring a canned food item that will help those in need. All non-perishable items benefit Volunteers in Service to the Elderly (VISTE). We want everyone to have fun and help support a great cause like VISTE.”
Red, White & Kaboom festivities will start with a live concert featuring Gary Love and the Moonlighters, that will certainly command the crowd playing from their list of popular hits. Over time the group have become one of central Florida’s premier cover bands playing fan favorites ranging in years from the 1970s to the 2020s. We are excited to hear them go at RWK2024!
