With our beautiful weather and clear skies, Arizona is one of the best places in the nation to see an amazing fireworks display.

And this may be the most patriotic town in Arizona with the best fireworks display in the state! This is where you'll find the most bang for your Independence Day celebration!

The Sierra Vista Rotary Club proudly presents the annual 4th of July Celebration in Sierra Vista. As a military town, Sierra Vista is very patriotic. The Rotary Club works together with Ft. Huachuca and the City of Sierra Vista to make the event unlike any you'll see anywhere.

The ground show and aerial show are during the fireworks are breathtaking. The best place to see this display is the Stone Sports Complex behind the Sierra Vista Police Department.

The fireworks begin at dusk, so sure to show up with your friends and family to secure your spot on the ball fields early for the best experience. While you'll be able to see the aerial fireworks display from anywhere in Sierra Vista, don't miss the up-close experience.

The Waterfall, which is the highlight of the ground show, can only be seen from the Stone Sports Complex. This dramatic show of light always brings cheers from the crowd.
