Fireworks displays

Want to know where spectacular fireworks displays will be seen in Wyoming on the 4th of July?

In 1777, more than 200 years ago, the very first 4th of July fireworks lit up the skies in Philadelphia in celebration of our nation’s one-year anniversary of independence from England. Every year since, urban and rural communities from sea to shining sea continue this celebration of independence. Spectacular fireworks displays will never grow old!

Wyoming’s open skies make it one of the very best states in the USA to watch fireworks because views are unobstructed by tall buildings and trees. Jaw-dropping fireworks will be seen for miles with the perfect perch.

Here are 7 spectacular fireworks displays that will be seen in the Cowboy State on July 4th:

  1. Jackson Hole
