7. Recommendation Concerning the Limited Waiver of the Escambia County Noise

Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-21 · agenda_item

The Escambia County Board of County Commissioners is considering a recommendation for a limited waiver of the county's noise ordinance. This waiver would allow for an Independence Day fireworks display on July 4, 2026, from 9:05 p.m. to 9:25 p.m. The fireworks will be launched from a barge off Quietwater Beach. The waiver specifically permits sound levels to exceed 70 decibels. This item is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. The project involves the planning and execution of a fireworks display, which would require services related to pyrotechnics, event coordination, and potentially marine support for the barge. Businesses specializing in event services, fireworks, and marine operations could find opportunities by engaging early before final permits and contracts are established.
