The Fabulous Fourth Parade kicked off the Fourth of July festivities in Flagler Beach on Wednesday, July 4. 

This year's theme for the annual parade, organized by the Rotary Club of Flagler Beach, was "Freedom for All."

For over one hour, cars, trucks, floats and golf carts paraded down A1A for the public's enjoyment. Sixty-two organizations registered to participate in the parade, according to the Rotary Club of Flagler Beach's website.

After the parade, children's activities and contests were held at Veteran's Park. Fireworks are scheduled at the Flagler Beach Pier for 9 p.m. Until about 11 p.m., free shuttles will be available from the Badcock Furniture parking lot to Veteran's Park and back.
