Is there anything more thrilling than watching high-in-the-sky fireworks on Independence Day? The good news in Douglas County is that on July 4, residents will have a choice of three – in Castle Rock, in Highlands Ranch, and south of Parker near the Pinery.
Whether watching the show from your home, in your vehicle at a nearby location, or online, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the live sights and sounds of freedom on Saturday, July 4 starting at approximately 9:30 p.m.
All displays will be broadcast live on the County’s website and on the County’s Facebook page; as well as on the Town of Castle Rock Facebook page.
