This year Winter Park is moving the fireworks downtown to Hideaway Park. Pack a cooler and a picnic blanket to enjoy fun all evening. Parking will be limited downtown so consider carpooling, walking, or biking.
If you want to get away from the crowds, the fireworks will be visible throughout the region. Set up in Grand Park for a perfect view, or hike up by Meadowridge, or the local BLM land nearby to enjoy the fireworks.
Don’t forget food and drinks for your picnic! Stop by Icebox Liquors to grab a bottle of wine a six pack, or some snacks to enjoy while watching the fireworks.
Grand Lake Fireworks:

Location: Downtown Grand Lake
Admission: Free
Details:
Grand Lake is known for some of the most stunning fireworks in the state. Set up camp in downtown Grand Lake, or anywhere around the lake for a spectacular show. The fireworks reflect off the lake, creating a mirror effect that takes fireworks to a whole new level.
We hope you enjoy all that Winter Park and Grand County has to offer this 4th of July. Take some time to be with friends and family and enjoy the beauty, history, and freedom our country offers.
