Two Milestones.
One Unforgettable Night.
This Fourth of July, Independence marks two historic milestones: America's 250th Anniversary and Independence's own 25th Anniversary. Join us for an evening of live country music from Gone Country, family-friendly activities, great food and drinks, and a spectacular fireworks finale over the beautiful grounds of Independence.
Skip the crowded public parks. No fighting for parking. No scrambling for a patch of grass. Just a beautiful evening in a setting that was — let's be honest — made for this night.
