Before the fireworks, make a splash with Southgate Recreation & Park District!
Float for Fourth brings families together for an afternoon of poolside fun at Christine Thompson Aquatic Center on Saturday, July 4, 2026. It is the kind of Fourth of July stop that fits easily into the day: a few hours to cool off, let the kids play, grab a treat, and enjoy time together before the evening fireworks begin.
Families can look forward to game booths with prizes, a themed photo booth, arts and crafts, nachos, ice cream, and plenty of time in the water. Whether your family is stopping by after lunch, meeting up with neighbors, or starting a new Independence Day tradition, Float for Fourth is a fun way to enjoy summer close to home.
For generations, Southgate’s pools and parks have helped families turn ordinary days into shared memories. This event keeps that spirit going with a family-friendly afternoon built around movement, laughter, and community.
Join us at Christine Thompson Aquatic Center for Float for Fourth and spend part of your holiday with Southgate Recreation & Park District!
