Summit County July 4th Fireworks - 2025

No town or resort area within thr boundaries of Summit County, Colorado (Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Dillon, Frisco, Keystone, Silverthorne) hasn't hosted a 4th of July fireworks show since 2017 for many reasons including fire danger, safety and wildlife concerns, as well as negative impacts on our the environment. This season has been unseasonably dry, so chances are likely that if a fireworks show had been planned in the area this year that it would have been canceled due to the risk of wildfire anyways.

There is good news for locals and visitors alike who are in search of their 4th of July fireworks fix. Several communities surrounding Summit County have fireworks planned for the Independence Day night!

The locals suggest that the best place for viewing the fireworks is from anywhere along Front Street.

Vail, CO Fireworks

Vail is hosting a 20 minute fireworks show launched from Vail Mountain and visible from many areas across town as long as you have a clear view of the frontside of Vail Mountain. The show is scheduled to begin at 9:45p. Vail will be closely monitoring fire danger and other weather conditions such as wind and has asked that anyone planning to attend the show check back on the 4th to verify the show is still planned.
