4th of July Fireworks

Overland Park Star Spangled Spectacular

Watch Overland Park light up with the Star Spangled Spectacular at Corporate Woods Founders’ Park. On Friday, July 4, 2025 from 5 to 11 PM, locals and visitors gather for an evening of live music, food trucks, and one of the most impressive firework displays in the metro. With performances from four different bands throughout the night and the fireworks set to launch around 10:05 PM, it’s the kind of summer tradition worth planning for. Bring a blanket, some snacks, and your favorite people (just don’t forget a leash if your dog is tagging along). In case of rain, the firework display will be rescheduled for July 5 at 10 PM.

Celebrating The 4th At The Farm

Head over to Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead for a fun-filled morning of festivities this Independence Day! From 9 AM to 5 PM on Friday, July 4, visitors will have the chance to take part in old-fashioned games, patriotic lessons in the schoolhouse, a cake walk, a pig calling contest, and even a bike parade! Access to all festivities at the Farmstead is included with admission, priced at $5 per person for ages three and older, and free for children under two.
