Sensory Sensitive 4th of July Celebration
Thursday, July 3 | 6–10 PM | The Sound at Cypress Waters
Celebrate Independence Day in a calm, inclusive, and joyful environment tailored for individuals with Autism, sensory sensitivities, Veterans, and pets. The Sensory Sensitive 4th of July Celebration is a free community event designed to reduce sensory overload while still delivering all the festive fun!
What Makes This Event Special?
We’ve reimagined the traditional 4th of July experience with thoughtful modifications for guests who benefit from a sensory-sensitive atmosphere:
No Fireworks – replaced with a stunning Star Spangled Glow, a wearable LED light show
Live Music – featuring Reputation, a Taylor Swift Tribute Band, with controlled sound levels
Interactive Fun – balloon art, face painting, Creature Teacher animal encounters
Pet-Friendly – leashed furry friends are welcome
Calm Zone – a quiet indoor space at Town Hall for anyone needing a break
Autism-Trained Staff – restaurant teams and volunteers are prepared to create a supportive, respectful environment
