Meeker is known to have one of the best fireworks displays on the western slope. Our 4th of July parade is always a highlight of Range Call and is accompanied by other smaller local events such as a pancake breakfast, 5k run, and root beer floats provided by the Meeker Historical Society. On the last day of the festival witness the Meeker Bank Robbery. Locals reenact this famous failed bank robbery from 1896.
