Parades, but no fireworks, planned for Summit County’s Fourth of July


#Breckenridge #Colorado

 Another dry summer means another Fourth of July celebration sans fireworks throughout Summit County. However, unlike last year, parades and public events have resumed. The two largest parades will happen in Breckenridge and Frisco.

In Breckenridge to prepare for the parade and other events, Breckenridge’s Main Street will close starting at 6 a.m. and most of the street will reopen shortly after the parade. However, the section between Ski Hill Road and Adams Avenue will stay closed until 6 p.m. to allow for distance between downtown activities.

 Breckenridge indefinitely banned public and private fireworks in January 2019 for environmental and safety reasons regardless of the weather or fire restrictions.
