SUGARHOUSE PARK
For the first few years that my family lived here, we always went to the Sugarhouse Park fireworks. You can bring blankets, snacks, friends and families, and enjoy one of the best fireworks displays in the state. Choreographed to music (by our sister station Mix 107.9), the Sugarhouse Park fireworks is a sight to see! This show is crowded so arrive early, as the lawn and spots fill up quickly. I’m suggesting a few hours before the sun sets…
SANDY CITY’S 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION
Sandy 4th celebration takes place at the South Towne Promenade 10000 South 172 West, between South Towne Center and Sandy City Hall. It all begins at 6:50am with a flag raising ceremony and doesn’t stop until after the fireworks at Rio Tinto! See the day’s activities here
