"Watch the skies light over the lakefront in Milwaukee for 60 minutes of 'oohs and aahs'." The popular hour-long July 3rd fireworks have been a tradition in our community and attract quite a crowd. Plan to arrive early There is no overnight parking in Veterans Park -- See the Regulations and Parking Map links above.

To ensure pedestrian and vehicular safety, the Milwaukee Police Department and the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department will at some point close vehicular access to North Lincoln Memorial Drive, so plan ahead.

Celebrate the Fourth in your Milwaukee County Parks. Programs such as parades and talent contests vary from park to park. All parks  listed in the City of Milwaukee have celebrations Thursday, July 4, 2013. 

Pack it in; Pack it out!
So everyone can enjoy a clean, safe, and fun Fourth of July, the Milwaukee County Parks and the City of Milwaukee's Fourth of July Commission remind you to place trash in the proper containers or to take it with you.
