This is the premiere July Fourth event in Oklahoma. It was recently ranked among the top 10 Fourth of July events nationwide by CNN, and with good reason — it’s one of the biggest firework displays around, preceded by a parade, games and free food.

The day-long event is located in and around UCO’s campus, with the firework display launching off around 10 p.m.

On Friday, you can catch an all-out display that boasts more than $25,000 worth of fireworks.

You could probably even catch the show out on the lake, but your best bet might be to head over to Lake Texhoma State Lodge around 9 p.m. for an optimal view.

Let Freedom Ring

Woodward

What is more American than fireworks, country music and George W. Bush?

Well nothing really, and you can catch them all at once during this two-day event in Woodward on Friday and Saturday.

This one will actually cost you money though ($25 in advance and $35 at the gate), but if you are a fan of Asleep At the Wheel, Stoney LaRue and the former president, it might well be worth it.

Tulsa

This is Tulsa’s largest fireworks display, with three viewing/activity areas along the Arkansas River.

The show will begin at 9:30 a.m. with music, face painting and a motorcycle parade during the day.
