One of the best parts of the summer is 4th of July. Whether your cookout, party, or favorite fireworks display got cancelled this year, there are still some places that are doing firework shows in Colorado!
Fort Carson Freedom Fest
Fort Carson is an army base that is located in south Colorado Springs. Every year, the MWR holds their "Freedom Fest" which includes a ton of rides, live entertainment, and fireworks. This year it is postponed, but if you keep an eye out on their website, they are supposed to announce a date sometime soon.
4th of July Symphony on Your Porch
With social distancing guidelines in place, Colorado Springs has come up with this event. The purpose of it is to watch the fireworks go off across the region, all from the comfort of your porch. Radio stations will be playing music while fireworks are being set off. There is a map and more info at the event's website. If you can't see them from your house, load your family into the car and watch them from there!
Triple Play Holiday at UCHealth Park
The baseball team, Rocky Mountain Vibes, located in Colorado Springs will be doing a movie showing with a fireworks display directly after at their Triple Play Holiday event. Located at UC Health Park, it will definitely be a blast (...get it? Blast?!)
