Help Us Celebrate 52 Years of Graeagle's July 4th Tradition and America’s 250th Birthday!
Our Business Donors Make It Possible
The Graeagle Independence Day Celebration is a beloved community tradition that has lit up the Sierra Nevada sky for 52 consecutive years and counting.
Every Fourth of July, thousands of residents and visitors gather in Graeagle to enjoy live festivities, family fun, and a spectacular fireworks display that has become the heart of our mountain community's summer. This event is run entirely by volunteers and funded 100% through the generosity of local businesses and individuals like you. There is no ticket price, no government subsidy — just a community coming together to keep a tradition alive.
But we need your help to make it happen again this year.
