Put on your patriotic flip-flops, ice down your Dr. Thunders, grab a watermelon and an extra pack of hot dogs at the store, everyone. It’s almost time for the 4th of July.

As always, we’ve scoured the internet searching for local fireworks displays and Independence Day celebrations to try and answer the question, “Where can I watch fireworks in Fayetteville (or Farmington, or Prairie Grove, or Rogers, etc.) in 2021?”

There isn’t an official municipal-sponsored display in Fayetteville, but there are always plenty of private displays visible in town on the 4th.

We did find several displays around the region, however, and most of them are free to attend and open to the public.

We’ll also likely add to this list between now and the holiday, and as always, feel free to let us know about anything we missed in the comments.

Happy 4th of July, everyone.
