St. Louis is a blast on the 4th of July! Grab a cold brew and a grilled brat at any of these local festivals and stick around for some fabulous fireworks to wish Old Glory a Happy Birthday!

St. Louis City has the biggest fireworks display in town for the Fourth of July. Fireworks under the Arch is nothing short of awesome. But Fair St. Louis can be a big hassle with sky high parking fees. The fair, fireworks, music and air shows are all FREE but coolers are NOT allowed inside, so you’ll be at the mercy of vendors during the hottest holiday of the year.

But Fair St. Louis isn’t the only game in town. Many communities in the metro area host festivals and fireworks of their own for the 4th of July! If you’re lucky enough to live in one of these towns, you might even be able to watch the fireworks from your back yard.
