It is not Independence Day in the United States with out some big booms and bright lights (how American of us)! And with the 4th of July falling on Saturday this year, we can do it up right here in the Twin Cities.

Almost every suburb, as well as the Minneapolis and St. Paul, have some sort of fireworks display going on. There are some bigger events that are also happening, so if you want your fireworks with a dash of say Taste of Minnesota, you need to head to Waconia this year. Eagan has Funfest with a carnival for the kids, Lake Minnetonka’s annual Firecracker Run and Popsicle social is always a fun time, and Rosefest has a little bit of it all right in the middle of everything.

Now remember, this is never a complete list. If your cities’ festivities are not listed and you want others to know about it, please feel free to comment in the section below the article.
