Fourth of July Celebrations

Kensington Rune Stone Days/Osakis Festival

FOURTH OF JULYcelebrations Happy Fourth of July! From land, lakes and air, many events will take place in and around the Alexandria area to celebrate Independence Day. Here in the land of 10,000 lakes, we know how to celebrate the right way with plenty of fireworks displays and summer fun.

The Alexandria area is full of traditional and non-traditional fireworks displays for you to enjoy, and many of the surrounding communities put on light shows as well. You can also find a spot on the shore of one of the many area lakes that will host boat parades.

And if you’re looking for something a little different, there’s Star Storm 2021, held at Arrowwood Resort and Conference Center on Lake Darling Sunday, July 4, beginning at dusk. Choreographed 20-minute fireworks are computer synchronized to music and broadcast on the radio. You can enjoy this display on land or by boat. Those watching should tune into KXRA-FM, 92.3, to listen.
