Red, White & BOOM!
Midwest's largest July 4th celebration—fireworks, live music & festivities for 400,000+ along the riverfront.
Red, White & BOOM! is the Midwest's biggest Independence Day celebration, drawing over 400,000 visitors to downtown Columbus each year. This free event honors our country, community, and military veterans through a festive day of activities. Families can enjoy a parade, browse a street festival, and catch live music performances across two stages. It's designed to be a safe, welcoming experience for everyone in the community.
As one of Columbus's largest single-day events, Red, White & BOOM! runs thanks to countless volunteers, vendors, and sponsors who make it possible. Whether you're looking to celebrate patriotically, enjoy live entertainment, or simply soak in the holiday atmosphere with thousands of neighbors, this is a no-cost way to spend the day together. If you're traveling from out of town, hotel packages are available through local tourism partners.
