What could make the dog days of summer just a little bit better? Glendale’s Hometown Fourth of July! Add to that free admission and parking, and you have one sweet deal that is sure to lift your spirits all the way to fall.

This year’s event at Glendale Community College will be just as awesome as years past, with all the makings of that old-fashioned hometown Fourth of July picnic you remember from your childhood.

The Fun Begins

Start your day with free swimming at the GCC pool, beginning at 1 p.m. Gates open for the Hometown Fourth event at 6 p.m., and entertainment will begin at 7 p.m. The fabulous fireworks spectacular is scheduled to begin at approximately 8:40 p.m.

Other highlights include all your favorites, like country music, an F-16 flyover, a kid’s stage, games and plenty of delicious food and beverages.

Bleacher seating is available inside the stadium, as well as acres of grass for blankets and lawn chairs throughout the college grounds and at Sahuaro Ranch Park.
