Where to go for KC fireworks, parades, patriotic drinks, and more this Fourth of July

We’ve rounded up KC’s hottest spots for fireworks and other festivities that will keep your holiday booming!

[Ed. note: Fireworks not exactly your thing? We’ve got tons of music and movie options curated in our Culture section, awesome eats and drinks in our Food vertical, and plenty of things to get mad at in our Politics section. It’s probably your patriotic duty to spend at least five minutes arguing with family about the future of Democracy. That’s the REAL fireworks. But otherwise, please enjoy the sky booms, parades, marathons, car shows, and general revelry.]
