Let’s Celebrate Independence Day!
This has always been one of my favorite holidays, I love that it is a time to gather with family and friends, but in a more laid back style rather than the hustle of the winter holiday season. If you are looking for some fun in the sun (literally!) this Fourth of July here is a list of valley celebrations and firework shows for the whole family to enjoy. Note: all of these events are having fireworks after dark, many you may be able to see from homes or parks in the area for free, but in order to get into the actual park/event where the fireworks take place, most require a ticket purchase.
Hope you and your family have a safe and happy holiday!
