Fourth of July Fireworks


WHAT: The City of Saint Paul will once again celebrate America’s independence with a traditional fireworks show from downtown Saint Paul on July 4th. Those interested in viewing the fireworks are encouraged to carpool, take public transportation, or use alternative forms of transportation to get to the city, and are advised to allow extra time for travel. Similar to past years, there will be no parking in the neighborhoods immediately surrounding the viewing area.
WHERE: The fireworks show will take place from Saint Paul’s downtown riverfront area, near Harriet Island Regional Park. Harriet Island will be open for those wishing to bring a blanket and enjoy the show. Additional recommended areas in downtown for viewing include Kellogg Mall Park along Kellogg Blvd, Indian Mounds Park, Raspberry Island and the Science Museum of Minnesota Stairs.
WHEN: Dusk (about 10:15 p.m.)
KEY INFO: Areas of Shepard Road will be closed before and after the fireworks show, and signs will be posted at least 48 hours in advance.

And of course, there are also good views from the Highway 61 overlook...
