Freedom Fest 2025

Celebrate the Spirit of Lehigh – Freedom · Family · Community

One of Southwest Florida’s most anticipated Independence Day traditions is back. Freedom Fest 2025 will take place on Friday, July 4, at Victory Town Center in Lehigh Acres, bringing together thousands of residents for an evening filled with patriotism, live music, family-friendly entertainment, and a spectacular fireworks finale.

Now in its fifth year, Freedom Fest has become a cornerstone celebration in East Lee County. Co-hosted by Victory Church and the Southwest Florida Business Alliance – East Lee Chapter, the event honors the enduring values of faith, family, and freedom, offering a space for the community to come together in a meaningful way.

This year’s event highlights include:

  • Live performances from local musicians and entertainers
  • A Family Fun Zone with inflatables, games, and kids’ activities
  • A wide variety of food trucks and beverage stations
  • A bustling Community Vendor Village featuring local businesses and nonprofits
  • Interactive photo ops and social media-friendly displays
  • A grand fireworks show at 9:00 PM

Freedom Fest is designed to be inclusive, accessible, and enjoyable for attendees of all ages. With activities running throughout the evening and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere, the event reflects the strong civic pride of the Lehigh Acres community.

“Freedom Fest represents the best of what we’re building here,” said Katrina Salokar, founder of the Southwest Florida Business Alliance. “It’s about celebrating who we are, what we believe in, and the future we’re creating—together.”

The celebration is deeply rooted in the spirit of community-driven progress, inspired by the grassroots principles of leaders like Catherine Austin Fitts, who champion local resilience and economic independence. With growing enthusiasm each year, Freedom Fest continues to shine as a symbol of unity and hometown pride.

The event remains free to the public, thanks to the generous support of local businesses, community organizations, and volunteers. There is still time to contribute. Whether as a sponsor, vendor, or supporter, your participation helps ensure Freedom Fest continues to grow while remaining family-friendly and accessible to all.
