Episode Details

Colorado Springs is downsizing its Fourth of July fireworks this year, cutting the Patty Jewett Golf Course show due to slashed city funding. Instead, they’re pouring all their resources into one epic event at the Ford Amphitheater: a full symphony by the Colorado Springs Philharmonic, featuring Star Wars and the 1812 Overture, topped off with fireworks. It’s their second year doing this, and it’s all about delivering a concert-and-fireworks combo that fans requested. While they’re pulling out of Banning Lewis Ranch’s display, locals say it’s still happening in 2026. For those craving sky explosions, other public shows are still on tap in Banning Lewis Ranch, Cripple Creek, and Palmer Lake — and the Switchbacks FC will light up the night after their game, though tickets are required.
