Fourth of July at Pete's Bar

Fourth of July 2026 at Pete's Bar in Neptune Beach, FL: patriotic crowds, bartenders, a Red Bull DJ booth and drone views of the block.

I covered the Fourth of July for Pete's Bar in Neptune Beach in 2026. Pete's was the first bar in Duval County to open after Prohibition. I shot the deck and the outdoor bar from late morning into the afternoon: bartenders, a Red Bull DJ booth and a lot of red, white and blue. I also flew the drone over the block to get the USA painted on the roof.
