The summer of 2022 brings the Independence Day celebration for America, and for Fort Collins. Here's what The Choice City has 'cooked' up for everyone, on July 2.

It's time to get back to getting together to have fun, and the City of Fort Collins has several things on the agenda to celebrate the 4th of July. Technically, it's all happening on the Saturday before the 4th, but that's OK.

Whether you're looking to 'hit a few holes,' run a little 5K, see a parade, or have a little party, they have you set for that Saturday. Which events will you be a part of?

With any luck, the winds we've seen this spring will have calmed down by early July. If not, that won't mean that folks still can't enjoy a wonderful summer day at and around City Park.

LOOK: Stunning vintage photos capture the beauty of America's national parks

Today these parks are located throughout the country in 25 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The land encompassing them was either purchased or donated, though much of it had been inhabited by native people for thousands of years before the founding of the United States. These areas are protected and revered as educational resources about the natural world, and as spaces for exploration.
