No matter how you like to celebrate our nation’s founding, you’re bound to find your scene at this party. With live entertainment, dozens of food trucks, a beer garden, all kinds of kids’ activities, and vendors throughout the event, there are attractions for one and all.

Listen to our soundtrack of all America’s greatest hits, including the old standards as well as a few more recent melodies. America’s songbook celebrates all that we have to be proud of in this great country, so the soundtrack for our fireworks show is all about highlighting that patriotic spirit. As you listen to the music and watch the fireworks, enjoy opulent showers of glittering lights that cover every color of the rainbow. Feel their thunderous roar as they arc across the sky. Marvel at their beauty and at the amazing country that they represent. After all, isn’t that why we’re all here?

Food & Drink at the Star Spangled Spectacular
Food Trucks
The Star Spangled Spectacular is Marana’s biggest signature event of the year, and this is where the food trucks show up in force. This year, we’re expecting dozens of food vendors, so that means that whatever kind of cuisine you’re in the mood for, we’ll have it.
Beer Garden
If you’re looking for something to wash down that hot dog (or taco, or pizza, or kettle corn), and you’re at least 21, look no further than our beer garden. Though the beer garden will be enclosed, all ages are permitted in these areas. Only those with wristbands, though, will be able to purchase alcohol, and no alcohol can be taken outside the beer garden perimeter.
Kids and Family Friendly Activities
The Star Spangled Spectacular is an event that kids will love. Inflatables of all shapes and sizes will keep the younger set busy. During the warm summer weather, nothing is more refreshing than plummeting down a waterslide, and that’s just one of the gigantic, air-filled attractions we’ll have at the event.
Once you’ve jumped through all the castles and slid down all the slides, stop by the free face painting station. Want to look like your favorite character from Beauty and the Beast? Be our guest! How about a classic character from Aladdin? Your wish is our command! Whatever face design you can imagine, our face painter is ready to oblige.

Once you’ve got your game face on, look around for our patriotic stilt walker. He won’t be hard to find because This Uncle Sam definitely drank his milk and ate his Wheaties when he was just a wee Nephew Sam. Today, he’s a towering seven feet tall, and he’s eager to wish you a Happy July 4th.
And now that you’ve had a quick rest, it’s time to head back to the water slide. Race you there!
Vendors
Attending the Star Spangled Spectacular means hanging out with your neighbors across Marana, including a number of local businesses who will have booths at the event. Whether you’re interested in learning more about health care options in the community, finding a local bank or credit union, or just doing some summer shopping, be sure to stop by the vendor area.
Hotels
Doesn't all of this sound like so much more fun if you didn't have to drive all of the way home afterward? Since the big event is located at Crossroads at Silverbell District Park, just one mile from three family-friendly hotels, you might think about having a mini-staycation and staying right down the street in a neighborhood with lots of places to dine, such as locally-owned favorites Nana's Kitchen, Asian Kitchen, and the brand new The Screamery Handcrafted Ice Cream location, as well as the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store.
Parking
We will have free shuttles available to take you to and from designated parking areas around Crossroads at Silverbell District Park. There will also be parking available in the Arizona Pavilions area within walking distance to the park. Handicap parking will be located at the park and there will be Handicars available to pick up and drop off at the shuttle locations.
Last call for buses will be at 10:45 P.M.

This July 4th, there’s no better place than Marana to enjoy all that Independence Day has to offer. Marana’s patriotic spirit runs strong throughout the year, and the Star Spangled Spectacular is really our opportunity to celebrate that spirit with enthusiasm.
