Celebrate Americas 250th Birthday in the Rockies
Spend Independence Day with YMCA of the Rockies

Your Mountain Basecamp for the Holiday Weekend.

There’s nothing quite like the 4th of July in Estes Park. From fireworks reflecting over Lake Estes to live music, mountain air, and family traditions, YMCA of the Rockies puts you close to all the excitement while surrounding you with the beauty of Rocky Mountain National Park.

This year’s celebration is even more special as Colorado marks its 150th birthday, making it the perfect time to experience Colorado's famous mountain towns, outdoor traditions, and unforgettable summer scenery alongside friends and family.

When you aren’t exploring downtown Estes Park, you’ll be enjoying 800+ acres of fresh mountain air, scenic views, and family-friendly activities.

Just Minutes from the Celebration 
Only a short drive from Downtown Estes Park and the Lake Estes fireworks show, one of Colorado’s most iconic Independence Day celebrations.

Mountain Views & Classic Colorado Lodging 
Stay in cozy cabins and lodges surrounded by towering pines, wildlife, and unforgettable Rocky Mountain scenery.

Family Fun All Weekend Long 
Spend the day hiking, swimming, making crafts, roasting marshmallows around the campfire, or relaxing before the evening fireworks begin.

Celebrate the Holiday at YMCA of the Rockies
The festivities don’t stop in town. Both YMCA of the Rockies locations host their own family-friendly Independence Day celebrations throughout the holiday weekend, giving guests even more ways to enjoy classic summer traditions in the mountains.

Make It a Colorado 4th of July to Remember 
Whether you’re watching fireworks over the lake, enjoying live music in town, or simply escaping the heat for a mountain getaway, YMCA of the Rockies is the perfect place to celebrate summer together.
