If your Grand Canyon vacation happens to coincide with the July 4th Independence Day holiday, you might be wondering where you can see some fireworks while you’re in the area. For starters, lighting fireworks anywhere within the boundaries of Grand Canyon National Park is a huge No-No! So please, don’t even bother bringing any with you to the park.
Fortunately, you’ll have your pick of fun, family-friendly, and mostly free, 4th of July celebrations just minutes away from whatever rim of Grand Canyon National Park you happen to be visiting. So bring your lawn chairs, hats, sunscreen, and a cooler stocked with your favorite beverages (including plenty of water), and get ready to celebrate American-style, no matter where you’re from!
