Fireworks: 

Reminder from the Boulder County Sheriff's Office: Fireworks that explode or leave the ground are illegal in the Town of Superior. This limits the legal fireworks to sparklers, fountains and similar devices. Let’s work together to keep our communitysafe this Fourth of July! Thank you.

Zero Waste:

We are taking action to reduce waste at Town events in order to align with the strategies outlined in the Town’s Sustainability Action Plan. As a result, our Town festivals have updated Zero Waste goals. The Town asks all vendors and festival participants to operate in compliance with Zero Waste policies:

• Use of single-use plastic bags and polystyrene (Styrofoam™) products is strongly discouraged (and will be prohibited in future years).
• Use of reusable, recyclable, and compostable items is strongly encouraged.

No race, no parade, no problem! The Town is partnering with Bambei Brewing to offer the community a fun way to end the day. Stop by Bambei Brewing for live music by local 5280s Band from 7:30pm-9pm to then watch the Louisville fireworks from the designated viewing area (the parking lot east of the brewery will be closed) – feel free to bring your chairs, blankets, and enjoy the show! 

Free parking and an accessible shuttle service will be available at Lot 15 at the corner of Coalton Road and McCaslin Blvd. across from the Coalton Trailhead. The shuttle will make round trips to and from Community Park every 15 minutes from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

No bike valet will be offered. Bike racks will be set up but owners are responsible for parking and securing their own bike.
