Local July 4th & Independence Day Community

What’s Happening?

We’re Back! The Ralston Independence Day Parade and Fireworks Show Will Happen July 4th
The State’s largest 4th of July parade, the Ralston Independence Day Celebration, is back after being cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Ralston Area Chamber of Commerce and the City of Ralston are the primary sponsors of the celebration.  After discussions on how to safely hold the event, the two entities decided to move forward in 2021.

“The Ralston Independence Day Parade is a cultural landmark for the Metro.  It brings people together to celebrate what unites us as Americans.  We are thrilled to be bringing it back to the families of Metro Omaha,” said Ralston Mayor Don Groesser.

“We can continue this amazing tradition while providing a safe experience for the parade attendees,” said Ralston Area Chamber of Commerce Board Chair Jason Richards. “It is a great opportunity to celebrate American values at a time when people really want, and need, to come together.”

Based upon guidance from Douglas County Health and the CDC, for this year, emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic and the continuing distribution of vaccinations, the annual Ralston Independence Day Celebration will hold a modified schedule of events including the Optimist’s Club fun run, annual parade, fire department water fight and the Ralston Fireworks Display by Bellino’s Fireworks on Sunday, July 4, 2021.

Additionally, the Ralston Chamber will be partnering with Bellino’s Fireworks to sell fireworks starting June 25th through July 4th.

All other normally scheduled events will not be held this year as the community transitions, but the intention is to resume all events next year, in 2022.
