FOURTH OF JULY SPECTACULAR!
Nobody does it better, and they’re doing it again this year! The city of Aurora will host live music by School of Rock, delicious food and a fireworks display billed as “one of the best in Colorado” on the Great Lawn of the Municipal Center this Fourth of July.
Attendees are encouraged to enter and exit the event site using Chambers Road to avoid road construction and closed lanes on Alameda Avenue by the library. This event is REALLY popular and space is limited so arrive early for the best seats. But, if you’d rather avoid the crowds, you can pick another vantage point from this map of the best viewing spots!
Aurora Municipal Center, 15151 E. Alameda Parkway, Aurora, CO, 6:00-10:00 p.m. (fireworks at 9:30 p.m.)

Have a great holiday weekend, everybody!
