Fourth of July in Jackson Hole: Parades, Fireworks & Events Guide

JULY 3 | The Weekend Kick-Off

10 AM – 5 PM | Visit Snow King Mountain Resort
Snow King Mountain Resort offers an entire day’s worth of activities like hiking, biking, scenic gondola rides, the Cowboy Coaster, the alpine slide, mini golf and more!

4–7 PM – Friday Night Bikes at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort
Before the evening festivities, hit the trails at JHMR’s Bike Park with $20 lift tickets, 50% off downhill bike rentals, and discounted restaurant deals.

6 PM – Concert on the Commons: Steely Dead
Before the fireworks fly, get into the groove with a live concert from Steely Dead, a Denver-based band that fuses the precision of Steely Dan with the improvisational spirit of the Grateful Dead. Free, family-friendly, and set against the dramatic backdrop of the tram, it’s the perfect prelude to the holiday.

6 PM – Town Square Shootout
A Jackson tradition since 1957 and the longest running gunfight show in the country. Actors from the Jackson Hole Playhouse bring frontier justice to life on the northeast corner of Town Square, complete with outlaws, lawmen, singing, and dancing. Free, no reservations needed. Arrive by 5:30 to claim a good spot.

6–7 PM – Grand Teton Music Festival Free Family Jam
Kick off GTMF’s 65th season with the whole family at the Center for the Arts park. Lawn seats are free but ticketed, so reserve ahead at gtmf.org.

~10 PM – Fireworks at Teton Village
Once the final notes fade, turn your eyes to the sky. Jackson’s legendary fireworks display lights up the slopes of Rendezvous Mountain. Bring a blanket, grab a spot in the base area or the parking lot, and let the alpine fireworks remind you why summer nights in the Tetons are unforgettable.

*Firework shows in Jackson Hole and surrounding areas are subject to cancellation based on fire danger.
Fireworks are strictly prohibited in Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and Bridger-Teton National Forest.

JULY 4 | Parade by Morning, Fireworks by Night

8 AM – Wildflower Run
The Tetons are for limit seekers, and this one gives just as much as it takes to those who are willing to push their limits on 4th of July weekend. The Wildflower Run at Grand Targhee hosts a 10k, a 22k, and a 50k with epic views and a post-run cold one at 8,000 feet.

9 AM – Yoga on the Deck
If you’d rather find your limits through yoga, try it at 9,000 feet. JHMR offers Yoga on the Deck on Saturday morning for $40/person, which includes your lift ticket, stunning views, and possibly the highest sun salutation you’ve done yet.

10 AM – Jackson Hole Fourth of July Parade
Few things capture the spirit of the West like our Fourth of July Parade. Expect fire trucks, kids on bikes, swing dancing, candy, and lots of horses with Western flare—all winding through the heart of downtown Jackson. The parade starts at the Fair Grounds, runs up Glenwood, across Broadway, and back down King St., but come early to get a seat along the route.

5–8 PM – Pre-Fireworks Music at the Virginian
Catch Little Moon Travelers live in the courtyard of the Virginian Saloon before heading to the evening’s main events.

6 PM – Town Square Shootout
The gunfight rides again. Same time, same corner, same 60-plus years of frontier theatrics. There’s no better warm-up for a Fourth of July night in town.

6 PM – Concert on the Commons: The Honey Island Swamp Band
The Honey Island Swamp Band delivers a high-energy, genre-blurring take on contemporary roots music, where melody, storytelling, and groove come first. Pack a picnic or grab food from the Village—this one’s not to be missed.

7 PM – Patriotic Pops with the Grand Teton Music Festival
Vocalist Capathia Jenkins returns to join the Festival Orchestra for this beloved Independence Day tradition at the Center for the Arts lawn, with conductor Donato Cabrera making his GTMF debut on a program of Copland, Sousa, John Williams, and more. Reserved seating is sold out, but lawn seating is free and first come, first served, so pack a blanket and arrive early.

8 PM – Jackson Hole Rodeo
Bucking broncs, barrel racing, and bull riding under the lights at the fairgrounds. The rodeo’s Fourth of July performance is one of the most popular nights of the summer, so grab tickets in advance.

~10 PM – Fireworks Over the Valley
Two shows light up the sky at once: one over Snow King Mountain in downtown Jackson and one over Teton Village. Wherever you’ve spent your evening, the finale comes to you.

*Firework shows in Jackson Hole and surrounding areas are subject to cancellation based on fire danger.

JULY 5 & BEYOND | Keep the Celebration Going

2 PM – Sunday Funday
Hit the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort bike park for Sunday Funday, when tickets are $20 and rentals are 50% off.

5 PM – Concert on the Commons: B-Side Players
If you love the vibe, you’re in luck. Concert on the Commons continues on Sunday with B-Side Players, creating a sound that’s as diverse as it is danceable.

And Beyond
Jackson Hole brings that Fourth of July feel all summer long, with camping, outdoor eats, (controlled) campfires, lake days, and summer sports. Check out all summer has to offer, and consider visiting on weekdays or late in the summer season when the town has more capacity to accomodate incoming visitors.
