Frisco’s Fabulous 4th of July

Every July, the historic streets of Frisco, Colorado, come alive with the unmistakable sounds of small-town joy—laughter from the kids’ fishing derby, the rhythm of live music echoing off mountain peaks, the smell of flapjacks from the early morning pancake breakfast. From July 3–5, 2025, Frisco’s Fabulous 4th of July offers an extended weekend of Americana in its purest form—family-centered, community-driven, and beautifully framed by the Rockies.

Locals call it simply the Frisco 4th, but it’s more than a single day. It’s a three-day experience that blends time-honored tradition with mountain-town magic.

Who It’s For

Families, outdoor lovers, music fans, and history buffs will all find a place here. Frisco’s 4th is designed to be immersive and inclusive—with events that welcome every generation, from toddlers casting their first line in Meadow Creek Park to grandparents reminiscing during Frisco History Day at the Frisco Historic Park & Museum.

Live music anchors each day, with performances that span funk, soul, jam, and rock. Magic Beans and Orgōne, crowd favorites from the Colorado and California music scenes, bring their high-energy sets to Main Street, where audiences gather near 1st Avenue under the shadow of Mount Royal.
