RED HOT & BOOM Tip Sheet

2024 Red Hot & Boom Tip Sheet

Watching the Weather

Red Hot & Boom is a rain or shine event on Wednesday, July 3. The fireworks display will go on, though weather could delay when it starts. Should there be any severe storms or lightning, event organizers will make announcements for guests to seek shelter. To mitigate the concerns of hot weather, guests are urged to stay hydrated. First-aid tents are onsite, staffed by firefighters and paramedics. Mist tents and concessions are also available to offer some relief from the heat.

Safety First

Guest safety is our number one priority. The Altamonte Springs Police Department oversees the security detail for the event, with participation from the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office as well as several other local, regional, state and federal agencies. To ensure the safety of everyone in attendance, security measures are constantly reviewed and modified. There are also various security checkpoints throughout the venue.

The Altamonte Springs Police Department (ASPD) values the strong community partnership we share with residents and visitors alike. The ASPD encourages everyone who “Sees Something to Say Something” as it relates to anything suspicious or criminal in nature.

To report suspicious activity, call 855-FLA-SAFE (855-352-7233) or download the Florida See Say app. Please note, the phone number does not support text messages.

Event patrons are encouraged to text RHB2024 to 888777 to receive important Red Hot & Boom updates before and during the event.
