Boulder’s 4th Of July Fireworks 2020 Canceled

BOULDER, CO — July 4 events across the country will not look the same this year thanks to the coronavirus. Many cities and towns have been forced to cancel the annual Fourth of July events, including the popular annual Fireworks at Folsom Field. Although Boulder's fireworks have been canceled, there are some other fun ways to celebrate safely:

Good ol' family barbecue: As long as gatherings are kept to under 10 people, and non-immediate family members wear masks and practice social distancing, it's a great holiday to brush up on your barbecue skills.

Head outdoors: Under the state's new health guidelines, Coloradans are encouraged to head out into nature and get some fresh air. So why not pack a picnic and go for a hike, and take in all of our state's beauty.

Farmers markets: If you're in need of some fresh produce for your barbecue, why not stop by a farmers market in Boulder County and support local growers? Location and hours can be found here.
