How are you celebrating the 4th? We have to be honest--this is one of our favorite holidays because of how seriously Utah takes its celebration of Independence. From Park City's famous parade to Oakley's Rodeo to Salt Lake's Fireworks, it's one of the best weekends of the year. Here's how to enjoy it.

July 3rd celebration at The Canyons

Set up at the Ski Beach at 3 pm and enjoy magicians, face painting, photo booth fun, cowboy buskers, followed by a free performance by The Soulistics. At dusk, you will be treated to one of the best Firework shows in the 84060.

Oakley Rodeo and 4th of July Celebration 

Nothing says, "I love you, America." like a rodeo. This all weekend event is really not to be missed. Watch barrel racing, bull riding, roping, etc...in the stunning setting of Oakley, UT.

Salt Lake City's 4th of July Celebration at Jordan Park

Games, live music, good eats, Fireworks!!! It's the 4th in Salt Lake.

Park City Independence Day Parade

Start with the Pancake Breakfast in City Park; then take care of those calories by running in the Park City Ski Team 5k Fun Run. At 11am the Main Street Parade starts, which is just about the best thing to ever happen west of the Mississippi. Following the parade, head down to City Park and enjoy BBQ, vendors, and live music. You will see the entire town, so be sure to be in your best Red, White, and Blue paraphernalia.

Sports Events

Both the Bees and Real Salt Lake are playing at home on the 4th and are giving big 'ole firework shows after.
