The Town of Fountain Hills invites everyone to celebrate Independence Day at Fountain Park with the fireworks show over the fountain at the annual Fourth at the Fountain with stars, stripes, and serious sparkle.

The party begins at 7 p.m. Friday, July 4, with this family-friendly and free event offering music, food, fun, and one of the Valley’s most impressive fireworks displays, set against the backdrop of the World-Famous Fountain.

“There is no better place to celebrate the Fourth than in Fountain Hills,” said Mayor Gerry Friedel. “We hope people from across the Valley come experience the magic of our massive firework show, set over the tallest fountain in the United States. It is a celebration you will never forget.”

Live music by Rock Lobster kicks off at 7:30 p.m. Food vendors will serve everything from frozen lemonade and Italian ice to full dinner options.

As the sun drops behind the McDowell Mountains, the night will culminate at 9 p.m. with the fireworks show reflected on the water of Fountain Lake.

Additionally, limited-edition event T-shirts and glow accessories are available for purchase.

“Fourth at the Fountain is one of our signature events,” said Recreation Manager Ryan Preston. “It’s all about community, patriotism and creating lasting memories. We can’t wait to see everyone come together to celebrate in Fountain Hills.”

Those who attend can bring chairs or blankets, along with lawn games. Alcohol or personal fireworks are prohibited. Public parking will be available throughout downtown, including at town hall and the Community Center.
