Fourth of July is on its way, which means the skies across Wichita will be filled with bursting fireworks and excitement will be in the air. July 4th falls during the week this year, and there are tons of things to do in Wichita on each side of the holiday.
The Saturday before the holiday, you can enjoy good old-fashioned fun at Old Cowtown Museum. Their Fourth of July event, Celebrate America, will feature vintage baseball, carnival games, sack races, saloon girls plus hot dogs, hamburgers and a beer garden.
July 4th you can be a part of nearby Park City’s biggest party or bring your lawn chair to the Hyatt lawn for Wichita’s annual Red, White & BOOM! block party, which features food, live music from local 80s dance band The Astronauts and a great view of the fireworks over the Arkansas River after the baseball game. If you want to see fireworks in Wichita this Fourth of July, Red, White & BOOM! is a can’t-miss event.
