Are you ready for all of the Fourth of July festivities this year? There’s nothing more magical than ending a great day in Kansas by blowing up the sky with color and light. After all, food and fire go well together! Here’s a short list of the absolute best fireworks shows happening this year. However, you can look back at our list of shows that happened in 2017 if you would rather find somewhere small to celebrate instead. I’m sure many of them happen annually! Now, without any further ado, let’s see what the biggest and best fireworks shows in 2018 are going to be.
When you think of huge Kansas fireworks shows, Peabody might not be the first place to pop into your mind. However, you'll find that their carnival, horseshoe tournament, and dog show is the perfect way to start a day ending in fireworks at dusk.
If you've never been to Wamego, you should definitely visit on a day like this. Fireworks start at 10 p.m. but you can enjoy a full day of food, carnival rides, hot wheels race, parade, and more.
Enjoy concessions, live music, and lounging around enjoying your time until the sky fills with colored fire at 9:45. If it does rain, the fireworks will be held off until the evening of July 5th.
In Wichita, enjoy food trucks, a beer garden, and local music artists as you relax and wait for the stunning show at 9:45 p.m. It's also accompanied by music, which you can hear throughout the festival area.
There's something special about an Independence Day celebration that also celebrates the state itself. Enjoy a day full of fun at Shawnee Lake, with plenty of kids' activities, a car show, and arts and crafts. Then, enjoy a water skiing show before the 26-minute firework show at the end of the night..
The largest fireworks display in Western Kansas is right here at Boot Hill every year for you to enjoy. At 10 p.m., enjoy a fireworks show that's got all of the best fireworks around.
At this amazing festival in Hays, July 4th is only the beginning of the celebration. On the fourth, kids get free admission to the aquatic park. The whole family can enjoy the carnival as they wait for the 10 p.m. fireworks show that'll end the day with a boom.
Though it's technically on the Missouri side of things, Independence Day is a great time to come together in the KC Metro area for a huge celebration you'll never forget. It's a riverfront tradition, and one you should see at least once.
