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

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

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.
