Parades, pancakes, baseball, car shows, and plenty of fireworks — Tri-Cities’ patriotism is on full display for the 4th of July with these annual, and mostly free, activities hosted throughout Independence Day Weekend.

Summer in Tri-Cities brings longer days.

Summer also means the return of the region’s most popular seasonal celebrations, including Juneteenth and a range of patriotic 4th of July festivities perfect for the whole family.
