7 Small Towns That Have the Best Fourth of July Celebrations
It’s 4th of July week and, if you live in a neighborhood like mine, there are about to be fireworks every which way. One of the best things about America are the small-towns and the communities that celebrate together with tons of hometown pride.
With that in mind, we’ve handpicked seven Vrbo listings from small towns that would be perfect for a last-minute July 4th getaway.
1. Sisters, OR
Near the Three Sisters Mountains, this small town on the eastern Cascade slopes is a perfect spot for a quaint Independence Day celebration. Enjoy Sisters’ events, like the Roundup of Gems, or drive 30 minutes to Bend and enjoy all of the offerings of the holiday there.
This Atlantic-side Florida town packs a palm tree-sized punch. Grab your weekend bag and book a night in this pragmatic rental sleeps four for under $200. Then check out their July 4th fireworks and concert!
3. Durango, CO
For a gorgeous getaway in the San Juan National Forest, this condo should do the trick. Stay for the 4th, check out the town’s fireworks, and spend the rest of your time relishing in this part of the country’s natural beauty.
Probably best known for Sundance and skiing, Park City is much more than just those two activities. Relish in the gorgeous summertime scenes, enjoy the town’s patriotic parade, and then soak in this rental’s hot tub when it’s time to reset.
What better spot to spend Independence Day than Flagstaff, a town surrounded by inspiring Southwestern landscape. The July 4th party is supposed to be one of the best small-town celebrations, too!
6. Stowe, VT
For a scenic New England getaway, this lovely rental is tucked between two awesome state forests and is located the bottom of Vermont’s tallest peak. The tiny town of Stowe (a population of fewer than 5,000!) would be a charming place to spend the Fourth with their parade, pie-eating contest, festival, and fireworks.
7. Truckee, CA
The Sierra Nevada Mountains sure look good on a small town like Truckee. This gorgeous conifer-hugged town has celebrations planned for the 4th and this condo, which sleeps eight, is stunning.
