Three Dog Night to Help Light Up July 4

If you believe what Three Dog Night has to say in One you definitely won't want to sit home alone on July 4. You'll want to be out at Lamb and Sutton Park with the crowd and the band that sings:

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do.

The City of Palmetto puts on one of the best Independence Day parties anywhere around so there's no chance you'll be alone. And this year they are hosting Three Dog Night in a free concert before the fireworks that light up the skies over the Green Bridge. It's a sight not to be missed.

The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Fireworks follow at 9:30 p.m.

Of course the party takes place on both sides of the bridge as downtown Bradenton merchants open their doors to Independence day revelers. Pier 22 has one of the best stops on the river to watch the fireworks. The downtown riverfront restaurant will host a pig roast and live music by Shotgun Justice from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. for $39.95 per person. Children under 12 can attend for $14.95 each.

The fireworks are spectacular from practically any downtown spot. And you can always bring a picnic and find a spot along the river to see the show.
