The show begins at 9 p.m., weather permitting; for tickets go to nathanbendersonpark.org and mysuncoast.com. And if you can’t make it, NBP’s partner, WWSB (ABC7), plans a one-hour special airing July 4 with the fireworks as the finale.

The Dali Museum Has Reopened

OK, it’s across the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in St. Pete, but it’s good news that the Dalí has reopened, albeit with reduced capacity and new health protocols. And a new exhibit, Dalí’s Sacred Science: Religion and Mysticism, will be on view through Nov. 1, highlighting five mixed-media projects from the artist’s later work. Also on view: At Home with Dalí, portraits by several photographers taken of Dalí in Spain.
