Come to Payson for the 4th!!

The 4th of July, in small town Arizona! Can you get any more American than that? Consider yourself invited to Payson's 4th of July celebration! There are activities in the park during the day; but the main attraction, the fireworks, start at dark, at Payson's Green Valley lakes at the end of Main Street. At least half the town shows up with blankets and lawn chairs and covers the grass around the lakes.

This photo is taken from the deck of one of the condominiums on one of the smaller lakes (there ARE several for sale, we'd be happy to show you one if you are in the market). People who own one of the condos or a house overlooking the lakes have front-row seats (and often have parties for their friends). If you are planning on coming to the park you have to come early to get a parking place at all close. We crowd into our Jeep Wrangler so we can park in a ditch or somewhere no one else can.

As darkness falls kids run around being kids, throwing the glowing rings the vendors sell up in the air, adults sit around in groups talkig, the town usually provides a free concert in another part of the park and you can hear the music all over the area. When the concert music stops everyone knows the fireworks are coming soon. The people handling the fireworks are busy in preparation, you can see their lights buzzing around. Finally the first BOOM sounds! The sound echoes off the surrounding hills. They shoot the fireworks out over the lakes, and it is beautiful! For a small town, Payson puts on a nice display.

Come and join us!
