We like celebrating our nation’s independence every year on the 4th of July with a BANG! This year our nation’s celebration will be on a Tuesday, but even though it’s not on a weekend that doesn’t mean the Twin Cities won’t be celebrating as big as ever. Throughout the entire state there is an abundance of festivities happening in various counties and cities, but even though they are all celebrating for the same reason not all are created equal. With both large and small events happening, here is a compilation of cities around the metro that will be hosting events, festivities, and of course fireworks.
