Colorado Has Plenty Of Places To See Fireworks

(CBS4) - They may not be your typical stretch-out-on-a-blanket with crowds of hundreds or even thousands experience, but a number of Colorado communities are planning fireworks displays. The coronavirus pandemic means changes to how and where you can watch.

(Also note, we know too well how fire danger can spike around the 4th of July and that could mean other changes or cancellations to shows. We'll do our best to keep this page updated but we've also included links you can check out yourself.)
If we missed something let us know here.

Beaver Creek - As long health orders allow, Beaver Creek is planning a 4th of July celebration including Stars, Stripes And Slides at the base of Chair 6, a Kids' Zone at Village Plaza and concerts at Centennial Park.
