Santa Fe’s Fourth of July celebration moves to Franklin E. Miles Park in 2026, where the city will host its official Independence Day event with a fireworks display and drone light show, coordinated by The Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe. The July 4 gathering coincides with the 250th anniversary of the United States, bringing residents and visitors together for a large-scale evening celebration.
The event runs from 4-10 p.m., with live music, food vendors, and open space for attendees to set up chairs, blankets, or picnic areas. As the evening progresses, the focus shifts to the combined fireworks and drone show.
Franklin E. Miles Park was selected after a citywide review of potential venues, with considerations including safety, accessibility, emergency access, and parking
