KC RiverFest

Commemorate America’s birthday along Berkley Riverfront at KC RiverFest.

Weston’s July 4th Hometown Celebration

Weston is worth the drive to see how serious they take their holiday. The morning parade is followed by activities like watermelon eating contests, sponge tosses and hole-in-the bucket relays. Enjoy their stunning fireworks show, set off from Weston Masonic Lodge, following the town’s military appreciation ceremony. Main Street, Weston, Mo. 9 am-10 pm. Free admission.

Leawood 4th of July Spectacular
