This year’s Fourth of July is the nation’s 250th. Lincoln’s celebration at McBean Park and Downtown Lincoln will be special — bring the family, flags, and plan to stay all day.
Join our FREE, family-friendly Independence Day party with food, entertainment, and activities for all ages. The Lincoln Area Chamber of Commerce are running the parade and the The Lincoln 4th of July Foundation are planning another big fireworks display that draws thousands each year. There’s no alcohol and no admission fee for either event.
The events depend on corporate sponsors and public donations. A nearly 20-minute fireworks show costs about $1,000 per minute, and additional expenses include sound, entertainment, a large kids’ zone, and public services. The total budget is nearly $90,000.

The Lincoln 4th of July Foundation, a dedicated non-profit organization, orchestrates an extraordinary day-long event that captures the essence of patriotic celebration in honor of the 4th of July.
