by James Coulter 

With Independence Day nearly two weeks away, the City of Lake Wales is preparing for its annual celebration Upcoming Rockin on the Ridge, scheduled for Fri. July 4 at 3 PM at Lake Wailes Park. 

At their recent meeting on Tues. June 18, 2025, Lake Wales City Commissioners approved their consent agenda, which included a special event permit for the city’s annual 4th of July Celebration. 

Rockin’ on the Ridge will be hosted at Lake Wailes Park on Tues. July 4 from 3 PM to 9:30 PM. As the agenda item memo explained: the event will include “vendors, live performances, inflatables, activities, contests and a firework show to conclude the evening.” 

The special event permit, approved by the city commission with a unanimous vote, will permit alcohol to be served at the event. 

In March, the commission previously approved $35,000 for Pyrotechno to facilitate the fireworks display.

Approximately $40,800 was budgeted by the city for the event.
