Several community partners are joining together this year to host a July 4 celebration that will include live music, food and a fireworks display over central Lawrence.
Fireworks beginning at 9:45 p.m. from the University of Kansas Shenk Sports Complex at 23rd and Iowa streets, and the nearby Lied Center, 1600 Stewart Drive, will host festivities ahead of the fireworks show and serve as a main area for watching the display.
Date and Time
Sunday Jul 4, 2021
Location
People may park in the Lied Center’s parking lots and view the display from that location, but that is not the only option. As part of the celebration leading up to the fireworks show, bands will perform live music outside the Lied Center and concessions will be sold on the center’s main plaza.
Live music will begin at 7:30 p.m., and will include a performance from the duo Spencer & Rains. KU Memorial Unions will begin selling concession by 7:15 p.m., including hot dogs, chips, cookies and bottled beverages.
The show should last about 40 minutes.
If the event has to be canceled because of weather, the rain date would be July 5.
Fees/Admission
Free to attend and celebrate as we #RiseLawrence.
