Two days, one community celebration. Together, these events create a laid-back holiday, filled with live music, local flavor, and plenty of room to gather with friends and neighbors.

July 3: Longmont’s Backyard Concert

Roosevelt Park, 6pm

Kick off your Independence Day celebration at Roosevelt Park on July 3 with a free community concert! Enjoy food and beverage for sales by local favorites. Bring your friends, family, and a blanket for an evening of live music, great energy, and hometown spirit.

July 4: Free Family Festival

2nd Ave. & Emery St., 5pm

Celebrate the Independence Day with a free, family-friendly festival that honors both community traditions and a historic milestone. As part of Colorado’s 150th anniversary and the nation’s 250th celebration, this year’s event has fun for all ages. Enjoy live entertainment on two stages, games and activities, plus local food vendors and community booths throughout the park. Bring your crew, settle in, and be part of a celebration that’s both timeless and once in a generation.

 

NEW this year: free chair valet at 300 Suns Brewing! Drop off your chair at 300 Suns Brewing, receive a claim ticket for pick-up later, and enjoy the festival hands-free. Return to pick-up your chair anytime before the drone show at 9:15pm. Please note the chair valet will be outdoors, so we can’t protect your chair from the elements.
