Join us for a 4th of July weekend celebration at Riverfront Park!

You're invited to celebrate the 4th of July weekend at Riverfront Park. This year's celebration will extend over a period of three days, Friday, July 3, Saturday July 4, and Sunday July 5.

Instead of heading to the lake, enjoy the all-American fun of pie and hot dog eating contests, a public food market, live music and entertainment, and half-price day passes to enjoy Riverfront Park attractions (only $11)!

Attractions include:

On the 4th of July, celebrate all day with an adult beverage garden, featuring No Li Brewery beverages, pie and hot dog eating contests, and a 4th of July Community Ceremony leading up the fireworks presentation. Thousands of American flags will be handed out to those entering Riverfront park.

The 4th of July Community Ceremony will feature live entertainment, remarks from Mayor Condon and Fairchild Air Force Base Commander Charles B. McDaniel, the Fairchild Air Force Base Color Guard, the Fife and Drum Corps drum line, and more.

The fireworks show will begin at approximately 10:00 p.m.

Bring the entire family and celebrate the 4th of July at Riverfront Park!
