Phoenix and Tempe 4th of July Fireworks RailLife Style

June 27, 2011 by Rail Life 2 Comments

** Update: 2013 Phoenix and Tempe Fireworks information is here <— **

With Phoenix and Tempe both having two of the Valley’s biggest and best 4th of July celebrations along the line, tens of thousands of people will choose to ride the trains to the Freedom Wireless Fabulous Phoenix 4th and the July 4th Tempe Town Lake Festival.

See the maps below for directions to the July 4th fireworks displays:

METRO will be expanding their 4th of July service to “every 10 minutes” beginning at approximately 5pm and will have their last full trips at midnight. If you are new to riding the Phoenix light rail trains, you should know that the Park and Ride lots are free of charge and you can purchase an all day pass for just $3.50. ( Youth and senior discounts are available. )

The Phoenix 4th of July celebration is FREE for all to attend, and the Tempe 4th of July party is $8.00 at the gate. Children 12 & under are FREE as are people with a military ID. Early tickets are on sale at discounted prices in Tempe. $60.00 VIP tickets are also available, see the Tempe4th ticket page for complete details.

So, what can you expect at the Phoenix and Tempe 4th of July celebrations?

In Phoenix, they will be rockin’ The Tom Petty Experience as well as enjoying:

• Over 50 booths of tasty festival foods and beverages, community information, and displays.

• A Kids’ Zone filled with inflatables and activities for kids

• Phoenix Fire Department Spray Zone and Hurricane Beach to cool you off.

      Thanks Matthew! I will probably have it done by the end of this weekend. Always hard to figure out the best timing for these. 🙂 They seem to start really looking for the information about a week out. ( or so )
