Tucson 4th of July Events & Fireworks 2024

Tucson, its suburbs, and other cities all over Southern Arizona annually host dozens of the 4th of July events to help you have an unforgettable Independence Day. You'll definitely catch some live concerts, restaurant dining, patriotic runs, and firework displays. The fun-packed program has something for everyone, but the problem is it differs yearly. Still, you can always count on the iconic "A" Mountain Fireworks Celebration in Downtown Tucson.

"A" Mountain Fireworks Celebration (July 4, 2024)

Visit the central annual 4th of July party and a long-lasting Tucson tradition at the Tucson Convention Center. The venue annually hosts multiple events within "A" Mountain Fireworks Celebration. You can enjoy live entertainment, food, and drinks between 4 and 10 pm. The festivities traditionally culminate at 9:15 pm with the free firework show over Sentinel Peak Park ("A" Mountain). So feel free to leave your car at the TCC's parking lot and make some great memories of your 4th of July celebration in Tucson.

The Spectacular is held from 5 pm till 9:30 pm, and the pinnacle of the party is definitely the firework display, scheduled for 9 pm. But other attractions featured at the festival through the day include a car show, field games, vendors, and plenty entertainment for the youngest visitors.
