Stillwater's 4th Of July Fireworks 2020 Canceled

STILLWATER, 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 Stillwater.

In April, the Stillwater City Council voted to cancel the city's summer events through July 19 — including its July 4 fireworks — over worries regarding the spread of COVID-19. Other canceled events include Lumberjack Days, the Croix Car Show, and the Summer Tuesdays through July 19.

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.
