Sioux Falls Jaycees have hosted the Independence Day Celebration at the W.H. Lyon Fairgrounds since 1967. We are able to continue holding this event free to the public thanks to generous donations from community members and businesses. Consider helping out by making a donation or joining us to volunteer the day of the event!

If there is anything I am missing, please reach out to me so I can get this updated! Celebrate safely! If you are shooting fireworks off in town, it’s illegal, so maybe don’t?? But if you still plan on doing so – please stop at a reasonable time! Think of the people who have to work on Friday, or have pets! (I fall under both categories!!)

Happy 4th of July!!
