Thanksgiving Point’s Electric Park in Lehi will host a free public fireworks display on July 4, 2026, as part of the Thanksgiving Point Freedom Celebration presented by Lehi City. Gates open at 4 p.m., with the fireworks show beginning at 10 p.m. The event at 2650 N Ashton Boulevard includes food trucks, vendors, and festival activities, and the fireworks are synchronized to music broadcast on 93.3 The Bull and FM100.3. Admission is free, and attendees are encouraged to bring blankets and lawn chairs.

Regulations on consumer fireworks

Professional fireworks displays remain permitted across Utah County despite widespread bans on consumer fireworks. Governor Spencer Cox’s June 25 executive order imposed temporary statewide restrictions on personal fireworks through July 5 due to extreme wildfire conditions, and multiple Utah County cities including Lehi, American Fork, Orem, Provo, Pleasant Grove, Lindon, Alpine, Eagle Mountain, and Vineyard have enacted full citywide bans on consumer fireworks during the holiday period. The Utah State Fire Marshal’s Office notes that professional shows are unaffected.

Other local professional shows

In addition to Thanksgiving Point, other confirmed public professional displays in Utah County include the Stadium of Fire on July 4 in Provo and the Pleasant Grove Fireworks show on July 4. Residents seeking professional displays are directed to these organized events rather than personal use.

Lehi City enforcement and recommendations

Lehi City officials have confirmed the consumer fireworks prohibition applies citywide through July 5, suspending any prior safe-zone maps. Unincorporated areas of Utah County fall under the same statewide restrictions enforced by the Utah County Sheriff’s Office. Officials recommend attending permitted professional shows and checking local fire authorities for any updates.
