Bring water tonight, please.

Red, White & Kaboom is back. Before Lakeland's biggest Independence Day celebration, we’re answering commonly asked questions about the event, from parking to pricing.

From LkldNow:

"The Frances Langford Promenade has been one of Lakeland’s defining landmarks for nearly a century. But city officials say the 98-year-old structure is showing signs of age — and Hurricane Milton may have accelerated problems.

Lakeland has received a $79,827 grant from the National Park Service’s Emergency Supplemental Historic Preservation Fund to investigate cracks, leaks, and other deterioration and determine whether the structure remains sound."

It was 13 years ago today we started our public campaign to get the Frances Langford Promenade rededicated.

Thank you each and every one of you that made that happen.

And a hearty "Welcome!" to every Lakelander and visitor who gets to enjoy the promenade.
