With the Fourth of July weekend
around the corner, we have several great options in the Durango area to
celebrate the nation’s independence.
Durango events kick off with a 5k run
beginning at Rotary Park. We then have a parade on Main Street, and a street
dance later in the evening. It’s the perfect set of events to enjoy the
holiday—have a BBQ during the day and go downtown in the evening.
Historically, our family has watched
the fireworks from the riverbank right behind the DoubleTree. The view is
awesome, and it’s so fun to be on the river. We have also gone up to Fort Lewis
for a different view, which is fun as well.
Lots of Durango locals make their way
to Silverton to celebrate the Fourth of July. The small town is packed with
activities for the holiday. The mountains surrounding the town make a unique
experience for fireworks—the sounds echo off the mountain walls, and it is one
spectacular firework show.
Many people love to spend the day
picnicking and enjoying the multiple events in Silverton. They have a run,
picnic, ice cream social, music, and ducky derby. Camping is a great option in
Silverton to avoid the drive back to Durango after the fireworks.
Either choice will give you a
fantastic day with family and friends. Durango and Silverton are some of
the most beautiful places in the world, so spending a holiday weekend in our
mountains will be amazing.
