July 4th in Leadville

On July 4, 2023, Leadville celebrates with small-town charm! Check out all of the July 4th events.

A Firecracker 5k fun run kicks off the morning at 8:30 a.m., followed by an old-fashioned parade. Join us for planes and a picnic at the Annual 4th of July Airport Fly-In and Cookout.

Fireworks glow at dusk against the backdrop of Colorado’s highest peaks! (Weather conditions permitting)

While you’re here, hike, bike, fish, ride the train, relax at Twin Lakes and Turquoise Lake, and more. Explore our genuine and historic mountain towns. Find outdoor summer fun. Kick back in a comfortable hotel, motel, B&B, cabin, or vacation rental.

Or celebrate with a drive up Independence Pass! The Top of the Rockies Scenic Byway gives stunning views of surrounding peaks.

Join us for an old-fashioned Fourth!
