Heartbeat of Freedom Fireworks
Patriotic fireworks finale shown directly after Luminous: The Symphony of Us at EPCOT on July 3, 4, and 5 to celebrate America's 250th anniversary. The show runs all three nights for the first time, completing a full surround of World Showcase Lagoon.

More infoSunday caps the July 4th holiday weekend; yesterday's actuals ran well below prediction across nearly every park, so crowds are scored on the lighter side despite the tail end of holiday events. Heartbeat of Freedom Fireworks runs today. Afternoon storms likely (60% chance) may prompt temporary ride suspensions. Unlike other parks, EPCOT's wait times climbed steadily through the day (max wait rising from 50 to 80 minutes) with only minor closures — corroborating the higher crowd score as guests build toward tonight's final Heartbeat of Freedom fireworks show.
