July 4th Celebrations With Admission Charge

If you can't find something to do on Independence Day in Greater Phoenix, you must never leave the house! There are so many places to enjoy 4th of July fireworks, 4th of July picnics, 4th of July barbecues, 4th of July concerts, games, water play and other family activities. I have no doubt that several hundred thousand people every year are out somewhere in the Valley of the Sun having a grand ol' July 4th at one event or another.

Some people prefer attending a smaller, easy-going community Independence Day celebration, while others want to go see big-name entertainment and huge fireworks displays. We have those choices, and everything in between. Share your opinion -- what's your favorite way to spend the 4th of July holiday in Arizona?

These Independence Day events charge an admission fee, but that might not be all bad. Most of them are rather reasonably priced at just a few bucks, and with some you get extra entertainment or food. Check back often, as I update this page as new events come to my attention. They appear in alphabetical order by city. There may be a parking charge or fees for some activities or food at the event.
