Ahead of the weekend, Floridian shoppers can have a sales-tax break for Freedom Week, which runs from July 1-7.

Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law a tax relief package, HB 7061, that included Freedom Week in May 2021. The tax-free period during the first week of July eliminates taxes on outdoor recreation and entertainment such as kayaks, bicycles, sleeping bags and movie or concert tickets for events after Freedom Week ends too.
