Independence Day in Apache Junction, Arizona

Updated for 2009

Apache Junction is southeast of Phoenix. Most of Apache Junction is actually in Pinal County, not Maricopa County like most of the other cities and towns of Greater Phoenix. Apache Junction's 4th of July event incorporates an entire day of family activities, fun, music and fireworks.

Enjoy these photos from previous Apache Junction 4th of July festivals.
