South-metro neighbors are getting a front-row seat to America’s 250th birthday, with a free Independence Day bash planned at Cornerstone and Belleview parks in Englewood on Saturday, July 4. The family-friendly celebration runs from 5 to 10 p.m., wrapping up with a professional fireworks show scheduled to start at about 9:15 p.m. Organizers say the night will feature food trucks, local vendors, and kids’ activities, and they are urging attendees to bring lawn chairs and blankets for prime lawn viewing.
According to a save-the-date post from Arapahoe County Government, sponsors for the celebration include AutoVisions, The Breakfast Queen, Texas Roadhouse, Waste Management, and Meadow Gold Dairy.

Music, vendors, and family activities are planned to keep the parks busy well before the first firework goes up.
