Can you believe that we are more than halfway through June? The summer is flying by and the 4th of July is just on the horizon, which may leave you wondering, “where can I find fireworks near me?” Have no fear, Denverite, for we brought you the best Denver fireworks in 2016 and we are bringing them to you again in 2017, via this comprehensive list of the most incredible fireworks shows in and around Denver:

1.) Independence Eve Fireworks, Denver Civic Center Park

For the last several years, Civic Center Park has been the place to be on Independence Eve (July 3rd) and this year is no exception! Beginning at 8 pm, join your neighbors for a true American celebration that features not only an elaborate fireworks display, but also an epic concert and light show! (Please note: Arrive early, as lawn seating is limited and goes quickly.)
2.) Glendale Annual Fireworks Show, Denver Cherry Creek Drive South

Once again, the place to be this July 1st is near Cherry Street and Cherry Creek Drive South, which will house one of the largest and most spectacular fireworks displays in the city! Please keep in mind that much like the fireworks at Civic Center, Glendale fills up FAST, so make plans to be there hours before the show begins (at dusk).
3.) The Outlaws Annual Mile High Fourth of July, Sports Authority Field
