Fourth of July
Celebration
Experience the biggest and best 4th of July Celebration in the state at Wamego’s celebration. Our small town tradition spans more than 139 years with the largest and longest running Independence Day parade in the state and the largest and most intense fire works display in the Midwest. Independence Day lasts longer than just one day in Wamego.
The town swells to more than double its normal size during the multi-day celebration, which includes a parade, a carnival, and antique tractor and car shows. The party is capped off with one of the state’s largest fireworks displays beginning at 10 pm on the Fourth.
