Celebrate the 246th anniversary of our nation’s birthday with these 4th-of-July firework displays in Colorado, listed by county. All of these wonderful displays are free to watch, so figure out the best place to see them and arrive early to grab your spot.

Many of these firework shows are/were part of a larger Fourth of July festival weekend. These firework displays were usually the highlight of the festival, but unfortunately, many of the other surrounding days’ events were cancelled for COVID-19. However, as far as we know, these listed fireworks are still on and happening!
