I LOVE the 4th of July, especially in Colorado! There’s no shortage of fun things to do this great holiday, so if you don’t already have plans, check out the fun fireworks, parades, and fun events in and around Denver!
Civic Center Park, Denver
July 3rd at 4pm-930pm
The quintessential Denver 4th of July. Pack your favorite picnic dinner and arrive early (around 6:00p) for prime lawn seating. Don’t forget some board games or card decks to fuel the fun as you await the 8:00 patriotic concert! An impressive fireworks display follows.
Cherry Creek Arts Festival
Cherry Creek North between 2nd and 3rd, Denver

The best of the best when it comes to festival food and artistic variety. Take advantage of Cherry Creek’s beautifully appointed streets to browse local art. Plus, they dedicate an entire block to fun activities for kids!
