Freedom Festival Celebration of Freedom

Join us for the grand finale of the Freedom Festival, the Celebration of Freedom!
Gather with the community for an unforgettable night honoring America’s independence and celebrating our nation’s 250th birthday in true patriotic style!
Join us in downtown Cedar Rapids at the McGrath Amphitheatre to enjoy live entertainment, family-friendly activities, delicious food vendors, and festive fun that captures the excitement of summer and the spirit of the Fourth of July.
We are excited to announce that the fireworks will once again launch from the 2nd Ave Bridge downtown! We are also thrilled to be partnering with a brand-new fireworks company this year to help create an unforgettable show as we celebrate America’s Birthday together.
Bring your friends, family, and patriotic spirit, we can’t wait to celebrate with you!
