There will be 10 swan boats available, each costing $90 for the evening from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

And because there are limited boats available, the city will select who gets to ride in one through a random drawing.

“This is a rare opportunity to enjoy the city’s annual Fourth of July celebration in comfort and style,” the city wrote on its website.

You can enter your name in the drawing until Monday, June 24, and the city will notify the entrants on Friday, June 28.

If you want to watch the fireworks without leaving the comfort of your home, News 6 will be live streaming the show on ClickOrlando.com and News 6+ with different angles you can choose to enjoy the fireworks.
