Laramie Fire in the Sky returns with bigger July 4 show
Laramie’s July 4 fireworks will fire more than 300 shells from Harney and 22nd, with road closures and viewing changes across central town. The day also includes a free festival at Washington Park.
Laramie’s Fire in the Sky will return July 4 with more than 300 aerial shells launched from the Harney and 22nd Street area, pushing the city’s holiday display into a bigger show tied to America’s 250th anniversary. The city posted the plan June 18 and said the fireworks, presented by WyoTech, are set to begin at about 10 p.m.
The expanded show will bring a familiar set of closures to central Laramie. The city said 22nd Street will close from Harney to Willet, Harney from Television Road to 22nd, Armory Road from 30th to 22nd, and Television Road from Harney to Armory. Residents looking for a better view are being steered toward Kiowa Park, Scout Park, Washington Park and LaPrele Park, which should also help keep people away from the busiest stretch near the launch site.
The display will be synchronized with a radio soundtrack from Wolf Creek Broadcasting on Hits 106, at 106.1 FM. Online streaming will carry a delay, giving people another way to follow the show if they are watching from farther away or trying to avoid the traffic around the launch area.
WyoTech students and staff are again part of the event’s footprint, volunteering to help make the celebration bigger and brighter, including cleanup and holiday festivities. The school, based in Laramie, trains students in automotive, collision and refinishing, diesel and welding, and its student-life materials emphasize community service and engagement in town.
Fire in the Sky will again be paired with the 35th annual Freedom Has a Birthday celebration at Washington Park, a free, family-friendly event presented by Rocky Mountain Power from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visit Laramie has said the celebration has drawn more than 10,000 visitors in past years, a sign of how much of Albany County now centers its Independence Day around the same set of parks, streets and public events. For residents, the practical plan is simple: expect downtown-area closures, pick a viewing spot early and treat July 4 in Laramie as a full-day citywide gathering.
