The Waterfront Park Fourth of July is the community’s celebration of our national holiday in the heart of downtown in our beautiful Waterfront Park.

The Fourth of July celebration is a popular community tradition at Waterfront Park. Since its inception in 1998, hundreds of thousands of park visitors have enjoyed this free community celebration. The event includes live musical entertainment from a diverse selection of artists, activities, local food trucks, festival food, and fun for the whole family. As a free event, the programming is designed to be inclusive for all with a wide appeal. The entire evening wraps up with a professional fireworks display over the Ohio River.

Family-friendly activities are always offered at the event that includes several community organizations that appeal to a variety of interests including science, music, art, and nature. Families and children will also be able to meet first responders and interact with a special display of antique and modern emergency response equipment. In addition to community-led educational activities, face painting, balloon art and bounce houses will be available.

This year, the event is presented by the Marshall Family Foundation. As a donor supported park, Waterfront Park is joined by community partners whose contributions are critical to providing this free event to the community.
