Freedom Has a Birthday

The park party is a Laramie staple. Meander through the park, perusing local food vendors, community information booths, bounce houses, live music, lots of free kid activities, and more.

When: Tuesday, July 4, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Where: Washington Park
Cost: FREE

Fire in the Sky

What’s the 4th of July without fireworks? The City of Laramie and WyoTech put on a bangin’ show worth keeping the kids up for. Grab the picnic blankets, camping chairs, or the back of a truck and watch the fun.

When: Tuesday, July 4 at 10 p.m.
Where: Fireworks at 22nd & Armory Road; park to view the sky above it. Some roads will be closed in the area. Nearby parks offer excellent viewing.

Carnival

Ah, the joys of eating cotton candy and potentially losing it as you ride the zipper. Rides, games, slushies, and sticky fingers, for four days.

When: Wednesday, July 5 - Saturday, July 8; varying times. Click here for the schedule.
Where: Downtown Laramie
Cost: Tickets are available for purchase.

The Block Party

Live music will be heard most days downtown during the Jube and even swing lessons. But the Buckhorn Block Party is the big one.

When: Friday, July 7, 7:30-10:30 p.m.
Where: Buckhorn Bar
Cost: FREE; drinks for purchase.

Chili Cookoff

Sample some chili before you find your parade seat. Red, green, mild to spicy–it’s all there. 'Sample' is the keyword. Otherwise, it could make for an uh...uncomfortable parade.

When: Saturday, July 8, 8 a.m.

Cost: FREE

Parade

One of the best parts about Jubilee Days is the parade—candy and costumes for the kids, conversation, and community for the adults.

Where: Route starts on 3rd and Canby, travels east on Grand to 9th, and back to Canby.
Cost: FREE

Brewfest

Another staple of the Jube: the beer! So many good local and regional brews to celebrate. Purchase a wristband, leave the pets and strollers at home, and enjoy refreshing beverages.

When: Saturday, July 8 at 1 p.m.
