Yuma plans free Fourth of July fireworks spectacular at Desert Sun Stadium
Free gates open at 6 p.m. Saturday at Desert Sun Stadium, with Yuma’s 250th-birthday fireworks set for about 9 p.m. under a clear-bag-only policy.
Free gates open at 6 p.m. Saturday at Desert Sun Stadium, where Yuma will stage its annual 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular and a larger fireworks burst at about 9 p.m. tied to America’s 250th birthday. The event at 1280 W. Desert Sun Drive is free and family-friendly, with live music, food and entertainment for the whole family.
Families who want the best chance at a seat should get there when the gates open. Stadium seating is limited, and guests should bring blankets or lawn chairs and carry personal items in clear bags only. Coolers are not allowed. The city calendar lists the event from 6 to 10 p.m., and the CDC advises staying hydrated and staying cool, with children, pregnant people and anyone with asthma, heart disease or other chronic conditions facing greater heat risk.
The Fourth of July show follows Yuma’s spring America 250 celebration at the same stadium, which ran April 18 from 3 to 11 p.m. and featured live music, family-friendly activities, food vendors, a dedicated kids zone and a patriotic drone show. Children 12 and under were free, and the April event was part of the city’s larger commemoration of the nation’s 250th birthday.
Kathy Urfer, the city’s special events assistant, said, “We look forward to seeing families come together for one of Yuma’s favorite summer traditions.”
