Las Vegas Independence Day Displays
There are Going to Be Fireworks Across the Valley
To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the Summerlin Council Patriotic Parade will feature new floats, along with three popular floats from the past: “Stars and Stripes Forever,” “Visions of Candyland,” and “Ferris Bueller’s Independence Day Off.” The city of Las Vegas’ Wards 4 and 6 will present the “Blast Off in the Basin” in northwest Las Vegas on July 4, and Las Vegas Motor Speedway’s popular “Night of Fire” will offer a post-race fireworks show on July 3.
