fireworks for 4th of July celebration event

Tempe Town Lake Festival

This festival has been a major tourist attraction since the 1950s. The July 4th celebration is regarded as the premier celebration in the Valley. The Kiwanis Club’s Firework Spectacular over Tempe Town Lake may be the climax of the evening, but our favorite part is snacking with friends up until the main event.

Fireworks are best enjoyed with a delicious sub in hand and sipping on an ice-cold eegee. More eegee’s locations are popping up around the East Valley, just type in “eegee’s” in Google Maps and you’ll be directed to your nearest location.

Peoria All-American Festival

The All-American Festival would be perfect if you reside around the Peoria area or will be there for the Independence Day celebrations. The festival features family-centric, fun activities like face-painting, giant water slides and cornhole tournaments.

Children, teens and adults with sensory needs can enjoy the celebrations from the Sensory Room in the Visitor’s Clubhouse. Unless you want to opt for a VIP experience, you can gain access to the event and participate in all activities for free.
