The City of Daytona Beach will begin festivities at the BandshellDaytona Beach Bandshell at 7PM culminating with a fireworks display at 9:45PM from the Daytona Beach Pier.  Visit www.bandshell.org  for additional information. 

So........ Begin by getting a parking spot facing south along A1A several blocks south of the pier.  Away from the crowd gives you a better chance of getting out quickly.  Immediately following the
Flagler Beach fireworks head south about 15 miles and maybe you cansee the Ormond Beach fireworks as you get closer and perhaps park and watch.  About 5 miles further south from Granada Blvd the Daytona Beach fireworks will be visible.

If anyone is adventurous enough to try seeing all 3 please report back and let me know if it was possible without breaking any laws or speed limits.  Any delay in starting will make it impossible if it isn't already but any delays in starting the later displays would make it very doable.  Enjoy your holiday.  Happy Independence Day 2011.
