4th of July fireworks in Utah 2020

Utah (ABC4 News) – The 4th of July is usually a favorite summer holiday where Americans gather together to celebrate our freedom. Firework displays, pool parties, BBQ’s and neighborhood gatherings are usually ingredients for the perfect Independence Day bash.

This year’s 4th is already looking different due to the coronavirus pandemic. Many of Utah’s major firework shows have already been canceled.

We know Utahns will still be looking for ways to celebrate so we created this list of 4th of July celebrations that have taken on a coronavirus twist.

Let us know what displays we’ve missed and we will add them to our list.
