Put on your red, white and blue and join friends and neighbors at Fountain Park Wednesday, July 4, to celebrate Independence Day.

The celebration will kick off at 6 p.m. with music, kids bounce houses and rock climbing wall. DJ Steve Grosse will keep the whole family moving and grooving with great tunes and prizes throughout the night.

What July 4 event would be complete without some pyrotechnics? The Fourth at the Fountain program will conclude with a fireworks display at 9 p.m. over the park’s Fountain Lake.

The town’s Fourth of July celebration is free and open to all event guests. The Fourth at the Fountain program has been designed to be a community wide event open to all. This year attendees are encouraged to bring chairs, blankets, and picnic baskets to relax and enjoy an evening full of fun throughout the park. Food vendors will also be on hand with Italian ice, frozen lemonade, and other goodies to help you beat the heat.

Public parking throughout downtown Fountain Hills will be available. Please note temporary road closures will be in effect at the end of the program to help allow pedestrians to exit the park. Event guests are welcome to bring Frisbees, balls and other games but to please observe the following restrictions: no glass; no alcohol; no personal fireworks, sparklers or other open flames.

Due to the fireworks, it is suggested that all pets be kept home for their safety.
