Fourth of July Festivities 2024
PARADE | FESTIVAL | FIREWORKS
Every 4th of July, Buena Vista, Colorado, transforms into a vibrant festival of red, white & blue celebrations, attracting locals and tourists alike. Our annual Independence Day festivities kick off with a traditional parade featuring vintage cars, elaborate floats, local organizations rolling down our historic Main Street.
After the parade, head over to McPhelemy Park for our vendor festival with live music on the new stage, a locally crafted beer and wine tent, food trucks, and over 40 vendors to shop from.
This year the festival will be held on Thursday, July 4, 2024 from 8:00am - 5:00pm (tentative start/end times).
