America's Birthday Party in the Quad Cities

UPDATE!
Due to the forecasted weather conditions, organizers have decided to cancel the Red, White & Boom! fireworks show on July 4. While we had hoped conditions would improve after postponing the event from July 3, the forecast remains too unpredictable. The fireworks will be rescheduled, and a new date will be announced later. We apologize for the disappointment.

Kick off your Independence Day celebrations along the Mississippi River in the Quad Cities at Red, White, & Boom! 

 

Enjoy a dazzling fireworks display launched from two barges on the river between Davenport, Iowa and Rock Island, Illinois, set to music broadcast live on 97X. 

 

Come early and make an evening of it with family-friendly activities in riverfront parks, including: 

  • A variety of food vendors serving summer favorites 

  • Kid zones packed with games, activities and fun for all ages 

  • Live music with popular bands on the park stages  

 

Bring your friends, your family and your lawn chairs for a festive night by the river. Celebrate America’s birthday with great entertainment, community spirit and an unforgettable fireworks show!
