Celebrate Independence Day with music, family entertainment, dinner deals, an open-air beer garden and a spectacular fireworks show on Tuesday, July 4 at the West Valley’s largest Fourth of July festival, Westgate Firework Fest.

Starting from 5:00pm to 9:30pm, guests are invited to bring blankets or lawn chairs to relax at Westgate Entertainment District and listen to music on two stages, join in on fun activities and enjoy delicious dining from more than 20 restaurants and bars.

In its fifth year running, this completely free annual event with free parking, the only one in greater Phoenix, attracts nearly 40,000 people.

At Fountain Park, kids can cool off at the splash pad or at Westgate’s brand-new water zones. Plus, families can enjoy face painting, balloon twisting, nonstop entertainment on stage with a DJ, dancing, games and prizes and hop on and explore a classically restored fire truck. At WaterDance Plaza, mix and mingle in the beer garden while enjoying rock, alternative, country and pop favorites with performances by Club Country and The Instant Classics.

Fireworks will light up the night sky at 9:00pm.

Convenient and free parking is available at all five parking lots surrounding Westgate.

A portion of the proceeds from the beer garden will benefit Fighter Country Foundation, a not-for-profit focused on supporting programs and services at Luke Air Force Base that aid, support and honor Airmen and their families.
