Fourth of July in Ogden: Festival Guide

Gather your family and gather your friends because this year the Fourth of July weekend is bringing great excitement to the Ogden area to go big in its celebration of Independence Day.

Since even the most energetic families couldn’t possibly fit it all in, we’ve assembled the following overview of all the festivals, parades, delectable bites, music, and more across the entire community.

NOTE ON STATEWIDE FIREWORKS BAN

⚠️ Updated June 2026: Due to extreme wildfire conditions, Governor Cox has issued a statewide emergency order restricting personal fireworks through July 5. Ogden City has also raised fire restrictions to Level Orange, banning fireworks and open flames in large portions of the city (east of Harrison Blvd, river corridors, canyons, trails, and wildland-urban interface areas). Check Ogden City's official restrictions map before discharging any personal fireworks. Professional fireworks shows listed below are unaffected.
