Richfield's 4th Of July Fireworks 2020 Canceled

RICHFIELD, MN — 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 Richfield.

"It is with an incredibly heavy heart that we announce that the 2020 Richfield Red White and Blue Days is officially cancelled," organizers announced in May.

"We took many things into consideration, talked with health officials, city council and city staff. We feel it is in the best interest of our community to cancel the 2020 event, and begin planning for an incredible 2021!"

Due to the pandemic, counties or cities may adjust or cancel events at the last minute. Check your event before you go. Know of other events in the area? Post them on the Patch calendar or share details on our free Neighbor Post feature.
