On Saturday, July 4, 2015, your day in Frisco will begin at 8:00 a.m. with a pancake breakfast hosted by Team Summit and will end with a fireworks display over Dillon Reservoir beginning at 9:30 p.m. The town recommends you park once and enjoy the day on foot as everything is within walking distance.
“It is pretty special to be able to celebrate the 4th in a mountain town along a lake and with a charming Main Street. And we incorporate both Main Street and the Frisco Bay Marina into the 4th and what we get is a day which really celebrates the holiday and our beautiful community,” stated Nora Gilbertson Frisco Events Manager.

Children five and under must be accompanied by a parent or an older child during the whole parade. Every child must wear a helmet to participate. If parents are not accompanying their children during the parade, then they must be prepared to meet them at the end of the parade route at Main Street and 6th Avenue.

The best fireworks display viewing is at the Frisco Bay Marina.

Disabled parking will be available, but egress will be restricted in consideration of pedestrian safety. Throughout the day adult beverages will be available for sale on Main Street benefitting Swan Center Outreach. Guests are asked to leave personal alcohol at home and instead benefit this educational and therapeutic organization which works with children and horses.
The Town of Frisco would also like to remind all citizens that while there are currently no additional bans on personal fireworks, Town laws will be enforced. Frisco’s fireworks policy 127-11 allows the use of sparklers and ground displays, but no aerial fireworks. Please contact the Frisco Police Department at 970-668-3579 with any questions. Also a reminder, outside alcohol will not be permitted and coolers will be checked. This is a pet friendly event. Main Street from Madison Avenue to 7th Avenue will be closed from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on July 4.
