If you are a parent of small kids or just an early bird, you may be looking for activities that will allow you to celebrate Independence Day before night falls. Daytime activities may also suit you if you have plans for your evening but are looking for a fun way to fill up your afternoon.
Here is a list of several ways you can celebrate the 4th of July during the daytime:

Spend your morning in downtown Winter Park, enjoying wagon rides, live music, children’s games, and street vendors. This celebration takes place in Central Park from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. While you’re in Winter Park, enjoy free entry (until 4:00 p.m.) at the Morse Museum of Art.
Summer Music Series at Lakeridge Winery in Clermont
Spend the day at one of Central Florida’s best vineyards. Get a comprehensive tour of the facilities and free wine samples, and then enjoy the live band and food vendors outside. Lakeridge Winery offers these outdoor music venues on Saturdays from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., July 4th through August 1.
Independence Day Parade in Downtown Mt. Dora
