How to STAGE: 4th of July Celebrations!

aXis Pro Events: SL100 Stageline & MAP24 Mobile Stage, Audio, Lighting Services Rentals

The aXis Productions & Events team is proud to help celebrate the 4th of July with so many amazing communities and families in Central Florida, from beautiful waterfront settings at Kissimmee Lakefront Park to Elizabeth Evans Park in Mount Dora and north to Central Winds Park in Winter Springs and DeBary at Gemini Springs Park. We help light up busy tourist districts like Wall St. Plaza in Downtown OrlandoICON Park on International Drive Orlando and the scenic Celebration Town Center. Being requested to assist in creating memories for these towns and districts is truly a privilege, and the team looks forward to returning back to rocking it on the 4th of July 2021. In the meantime, here's a fun flashback with the aXis Productions Stage & Audio team and some of our audio and lighting event partners.



Kissimmee: Lakefront Park: Monumental 4th of July

featuring The Wailers w/ Rob Base

With Lil' Shawn and Mz. Marina entertaining and advising the crowd through the early storms, the energy flowed throughout the afternoon in anticipation of the headliners and fireworks. Rob Base had Lakefront Park in Downtown Kissimmee moving through his undeniable multi-generational medley's of hits from the '70s through to the modern era, but "Joy and Pain" and "It Takes Two" had thousands singing and bouncing along. The Wailers featuring Junior Marvin saw a capacity crowd singing along to an hour plus of Bob Marley's finest with the grand finale of "One Love" before the fireworks took to the sky. Special props to our friends and event partners at Allied Audio for helping to make the past few Lakefront 4th's rock, with some of the best LD's, FOH and Monitor minds in the business.

Downtown Orlando: Wall Street Plaza: Red, White & Brew

featuring LUVU w/ DJ Korndogg

Wall Street Plaza in the heart of Downtown Orlando is known for legendary Block Parties on Holiday Weekends, and the 3rd & 4th of July was no exception. The Sam Adams MainStage hosts an annual amateur Karaoke Contest to kickoff the afternoon festivities, rolling into the post Lake Eola Fireworks celebration with LUVU funking up the capacity crowd lining the Wall St/Court St corridor... and not to mention DJ Korndogg rounding out the night, taking it into July 5th early morning! aXisPro veteran lead technical director Matt Verduin has held down the mix for the Block Party for over a decade, celebrating with Audio Exchange, Adam Moreno Band, Luvu and more... and managing to avoid the karaoke mic this entire time.

Mt Dora: Elizabeth Evans Park:

featuring Alexis Gomez w/ David Letourneau

Technically the 3rd of July, Mt Dora welcomes thousands to Elizabeth Evans Park in the heart of Downtown on beautiful Lake Dora to celebrate with live music on the Ford Mullinax and Wolf 103.1FM MainStage prior to the fireworks. Country crooner and former American Idol contestant Alexis Gomez made the journey from Nashville to headline the night, with local favorite David Letourneau warming up the crowd. aXisPro A1's Tim Schuler and Jovon Robertson beat the heat and rain, and dialed in Elizabeth Evans Park, going back to mix Colton Dixon a few months later for their holiday fest.

ICON Park turned the holiday into a weekend long celebration with local favorites Paradigm rocking the Miller Lite MainStage into the night on the 4th & 5th. Creating new traditions, ICON Park hosted Eating Contests with the Shake Shack Hamburger, Mattie's Pie, Buffalo Wild Wings Hot Wing and Sausage Shack Hot Dog Eating Contests. The grand finale fireworks display coincided with the Wheel Light Show... exclusive to only Otown and I-Drive! Props to working with Kimmie and Marcelo from Eklectic Entertainment, true pros and always a fun team to rock a festival with!

Going on almost a decade of assisting with lighting up Central Winds Park with live music and festivities, the aXis Pro team had a blast rocking the MainStage with local favorites Ennis Pruitt and the Breakers and Hello Sister. Arnie Nussbaum always keeps the party going, welcoming the Winter Springs VW, Chick Fil A giveaways and the ever popular Arnie/Allison "News of the Day!" Props to team ESG Audio with Eric Gouge, Chris Brewer and Jay Franklin dialing Central Winds Park in and nailing the Fireworks countdown!

DeBary: Gemini Springs Park: Freedom and Fireworks

featuring The A Team w/ Dale Bandy and The Blue Cans / The Grindstone Sinners

The City of DeBary brought on a new team to help light up Gemini Springs Park for the 4th of July, and they didn't disappoint, with an epic rock show from the MainStage headlined by local favorites, by way of LA, The A Team, along with Dale Bandy and The Blue Cans and The Grindstone Sinners powering through some early showers to fill the park up for the Fireworks grand finale! aXisPro lead A1 Bobby Cevetello held down the rock with the crew from Porch Productions, battling the rain and winds off the Lake, to make sure the A Team brought the noise for a capacity Fireworks crowd.

Celebration: Celebration Town Center: Star Spangled Spectacular

featuring 7 Bridges w/ Sonny Ferguson

We've been celebrating the 4th with Downtown Celebration for nearly 15 years, and the 2019 edition was as epic as any, featuring the Eagles Tribute straight out of Texas, 7 Bridges, with local favorite Sonny Ferguson rocking the Sam Adams MainStage for the capacity crowd along Front and Market streets. Nothing like having a fried clam roll at the Celebration Town Tavern, then hearing some Eagles before the fireworks finale to celebrate America's summertime birthday! Props to some of the top A1's in the business Garrett Stokes and Marco Beruf for 'raising the roof' and rocking Celebration Town Centre with extended audio running around the lake to the Park.
