SAY "HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA" AT PIER 22! In a salute to the red, white, and starry blue, we get patriotic with Fireworks over the Manatee River and an Independence Day Buffet on Sunday, July 4th on the waterside terrace. The party starts at 7 pm and ends with an explosive fireworks finale by Zambelli International around 9:30 p.m. Your party will keep your reserved table for the entire evening. Table reservations and tickets are required for access to the pier.
