Harrisburg is a small town that celebrates the 4th of July in a big way. The town puts on a big parade and a two-day festival, Tuesday, July 3rd, and Wednesday, July 4th, 2018 with fireworks at the end of both days. The schedule includes live music, amusements and a parade.

The festival is free, but there’s a cost for the 23 rides and inflatables. Tickets are $1 per ticket or $15 for 20 tickets. Rides cost 2-4 tickets each. Or you can get an unlimited wristband for $25 (for two days of all you can ride.)

Here’s some information about other locations, besides the park, where you should be able to view the fireworks. The July 3rd show is approximately 10-12 minutes and the July 4th show is approximately 17-20 minutes.
