COLORADO, USA — The Fourth of July is coming, and many may be contemplating where to watch fireworks blast into the night sky. Luckily, there are plenty of fireworks displays planned throughout Colorado from which to choose.
Check out our handy list and map of places to help celebrate America’s 248th birthday.
While several fireworks displays were canceled in 2020 and 2021, many returned to their full form in 2022 and 2023.
Some Colorado communities will have drone shows this Independence Day, and others have laser shows planned. You can find those communities at the bottom of this page.
As always, make sure to read up on the firework laws in your area.
