Cheers to the red, white and blue! Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is just around the corner, which means fireworks galore. Check out where in the Valley the night sky will light up with pure patriotism.

The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess “Fourth of July Freedom Fest”

Be the very first to experience the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess’ first-ever “Fourth of July Freedom Fest.” Enjoy a weekend event with private concerts, fireworks, all-American fare and poolside fun exclusively for resort guests. The weekend affair introduces three different bands that will perform live followed by a spectacular fireworks display. Kicking things off on Friday, Three Dog Night will play their 70’s feel-good classics like “Joy to the World,” and “Black and White.” From their Scottsdale roots, Zowie Bowie has quickly become one of the most popular acts in Las Vegas. Featuring Chris Phillips, Marley Taylor and their high-voltage band, Zowie Bowie will have guests grooving to the beat on Saturday night. Concluding the weekend bash, John Ondrasik, known as Five for Fighting, will play his Grammy-nominated “Superman” which climbed to the charts prior to 9/11 and went onto becoming a song of a healing nation. Don’t worry if you miss the weekend fireworks displays! Every Saturday from July 9 through Labor Day weekend, The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess will present a five-minute fireworks show at 9:15 p.m. Now that is what I call lighting up the sky.
