This Saturday the Florida Orchestra brings a free outdoor waterfront concert to The BayCare Sound at 301 Drew St in Clearwater as part of the nationwide America 250 celebration. The program is genuinely impressive with patriotic favorites like Armed Forces Salute and America the Beautiful, Tchaikovsky's explosive 1812 Overture, John Williams' themes from Star Wars and Jaws, Broadway hits and classical crowd-pleasers. General admission is free with RSVP. Preferred seating is $21 and includes early entry at 5:30pm.
Gates open at 6pm for general admission. No need to bring chairs or a picnic — covered seating is provided. Food trucks, concessions and bars will be on site.
Community partners include Florida Botanical Gardens, Suncoast Primate Sanctuary and Hope Villages of America. Bring donations for the Salvation Army Street Level Outreach Program. Note that The BayCare Sound has a clear bag requirement so review the permitted items list before you arrive.

🏖️ Clearwater Beach Water Temperature - Summer Is Here Early
If you've been waiting for the Gulf to warm up the wait is over. Clearwater Beach water temperatures have reached 81 degrees. Warm, clear, and perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, or just wading in. Historically Gulf temperatures peak around 85-86 degrees in late summer so we're already well into comfortable swimming territory ahead of schedule.
