The City of Steamboat Springs is accepting ideas and applications for a new 4th of July event, since fireworks displays are no longer feasible because of the wildfire risk. Event producers can submit a questionnaire to the city before March 1. Finalists will need to submit a comprehensive special event permit to be eligible for funding. The 4th of July is on a Saturday this year.

 

Press Release from the City of Steamboat Springs; Feb. 3, 2026.

Council Committee Accepting July 4th Event Applications

Holiday Events Reviewed & Selected for One-Time Special Event Funding

 

Steamboat Springs, Colorado-February 3, 2026 – The City of Steamboat Springs is now accepting applications for an additional Fourth of July evening event, as traditional fireworks displays are no longer feasible due to environmental conditions and increased wildfire risk.

 

Following a successful process in 2025—when City Council selected a drone show to receive holiday funding—Council is once again seeking a creative, engaging evening event for July 4, 2026. The goal is to provide a meaningful finale to the day’s celebrations and a shared community experience to close out the holiday.

 

Event producers interested in hosting the Fourth of July evening event must complete an expedited questionnaire and submit it online by March 1 by email to Teresa Long.

 

Submitted questionnaires will be reviewed by city staff, followed by interviews with applicants. City Council will then select finalists. Finalists will be required to complete and submit a comprehensive special event permit application to be eligible for funding.

 

All proposals will be evaluated through the city’s standard special event review process to ensure they meet all applicable criteria and requirements.

 

In 2026, the Fourth of July falls on a Saturday, with several traditional community events already scheduled, including the Lions Club Pancake Breakfast, Nordic Combine Roller Ski Race, Fourth of July Parade, Jumpin’ & Jammin’ Ski Jump Competition, and the Steamboat Springs ProRodeo Series.

El Comité del Ayuntamiento acepta solicitudes para eventos del 4 de julio

Se revisan y seleccionan eventos festivos para recibir financiación especial única

 

Steamboat Springs, Colorado, 3 de febrero de 2026. La ciudad de Steamboat Springs ya acepta solicitudes para un evento nocturno adicional el 4 de julio, ya que los tradicionales espectáculos pirotécnicos ya no son viables debido a las condiciones medioambientales y al aumento del riesgo de incendios forestales.

 

Tras el éxito del proceso de 2025, cuando el Ayuntamiento seleccionó un espectáculo con drones para recibir financiación para las fiestas, el Ayuntamiento vuelve a buscar un evento nocturno creativo y atractivo para el 4 de julio de 2026. El objetivo es ofrecer un final significativo a las celebraciones del día y una experiencia comunitaria compartida para cerrar las fiestas.

 

Los productores de eventos interesados en organizar el evento nocturno del 4 de julio deben completar un cuestionario acelerado y enviarlo en línea antes del 1 de marzo por correo electrónico a Teresa Long.

 

Los cuestionarios enviados serán revisados por el personal de la ciudad, seguido de entrevistas con los solicitantes. A continuación, el Ayuntamiento seleccionará a los finalistas. Los finalistas deberán completar y enviar una solicitud de permiso para eventos especiales para poder optar a la financiación.

 

Todas las propuestas serán evaluadas mediante el proceso estándar de revisión de eventos especiales de la ciudad para garantizar que cumplen todos los criterios y requisitos aplicables.

En 2026, el 4 de julio cae en sábado, y ya hay programados varios eventos comunitarios tradicionales, como el desayuno de tortitas del Club de Leones, la carrera de esquí sobre ruedas Nordic Combine, el desfile del 4 de julio, la competición de saltos de esquí Jumpin’ & Jammin’ y la serie Steamboat Springs ProRodeo.
