Independence Day is right around the corner. You know what to do: Grab the lawn chairs and head outside for fireworks.

Okoboji

Ames:
As part of the community’s star-spangled celebrations, a fireworks display will erupt on July 3 east of Jack Trice Stadium, near the Southeast Recreation Complex. Find stadium parking for the best viewing.
