Catch amazing fireworks shows on the 4th of July, whether you live in Denver, Littleton, Colorado Springs, Boulder, or anywhere in between.

Fourth of July, one of the biggest summer and American celebrations, is only a couple of weeks away. The day calls for patriotic sentiment, barbecue, cold beverages, and, of course, fireworks. It's hard to try and find a show that is not overly crowded in the main cities of Colorado. Luckily, there are plenty of firework shows spread throughout the state this year in order to properly celebrate our Independence Day.

Check out this list and all the options to celebrate America's 243rd Day of Independence from July 2-4.
