Happy 4th of July!
If you’re looking for Tucson events, parties, and fireworks shows, you’ve come to the right place!
We have a comprehensive list of 2018 4th of July events in Tucson – places where you can splash by the pool, belt out the Star Spangled Banner, salute the American flag, spend time with a veteran, or marvel at the magic of fireworks.
Put on your red, white, and blue outfit…and celebrate life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Even with all of her flaws, the United States of America is still a wonderful country (including our little slice of desert paradise here in Southern Arizona). Hope to see you out and about around Tucson!
Unless otherwise noted, all events will take place on the 4th of July 2018 – Wednesday, July 4, 2018.
