These 4th of July events are great to celebrate with everyone, young, old, and everyone in between.

Kick off your 4th of July with a bang at the Summerlin Patriotic Parade. This grand Summerlin tradition was on hiatus for two years, but it’s back and better than ever. Starting at 8:30 AM on Monday morning, the parade will include dazzling dancers, local leaders, music for all ages, the Las Vegas Raiders, and much more. Come dressed in red, white, and blue, and don’t forget to wear sunblock!

The parade begins at the intersection of Hillpointe Road and Hills Center Drive, moves south on Hills Center Drive until it reaches Village Center Circle, then turns west onto Trailwood Drive before ending at the Trails Village Shopping Center. Grab a seat anywhere, and prepare to cheer! You can see a map of this route here.

Summerlin is in its 32nd year as a planned community. It offers more amenities than any other development in the Las Vegas Valley, including parks, trails, libraries, schools, restaurants, entertainment, shopping centers, and more.
