Hello, sunshine and good times! Join us as we kick-off Independence Day weekend with the annual Pepsi Beach Ball Drop on Thursday, July 1! You’ll want to make sure you are at the center of the action when over 4,000 beach balls fall from the sky! There will be dozens of family friendly activities onsite including a surf simulator, bouncy house, bubble zone, face painting, camel rides and more! DJ Silky will be spinning some feel-good tunes throughout the evening. During the actual drop, there will be a designated area for kiddos ages 5 and under to safely grab beach balls. Be sure to check your balls for a letter and stop by The Wharf tent, because you might be a lucky winner of some prizes from Pepsi! Icing on the cake — fireworks! The pops of color to end the night are brought to you by Beachball Properties and will blast off at 8:45 pm, then stick around to see the SPECTRA Laser Light Experience to follow. See you … here! Oh, and if you can’t make it, join us LIVE on WKRG News 5 to see the beach balls fall!
