Here are a few suggestions if you're looking for something fun to do this 4th of July, 2010...
FIREWORKS!
Tucson's main site for fireworks is atop "A" Mountain, on the west side of town. You can see them well from most anywhere on the west side of town. Or, you may park in the TCC parking lot B (off Granada near Cushing St.) Between 7 to 9 there will be food vendors around. The Southern Arizona Mustang Club is planning on showing some of their club vehicles at the same time.
The Tucson Toros baseball game and fireworks starts at 7 pm. Tickets are from $6 to $10. There are also fireworks shows planned at the Hilton El Conquistador, City of Marana, and other locations around town.
For a rockin' 4th of July, consider heading to the Pima Country Fairgrounds for a free concert called "Red, White, and Boom!", featuring Jackie L., Savor, and The Jons. After the concert, stay for the fireworks! Gates open at 4:00. Music starts at 4:45. Fireworks start at 9:00.
A BIT MORE UNUSUAL!
Beat on the drum! Bring a chair and a drum or other percussion instrument and join the crowd that meets at Himmel Park (1st Street & Tucson Blvd) on Sundays from 3-6 pm for the "Community Drum Circle".
Head up Mt. Lemmon to a free concert series called "Music on the Mountain". On Sunday, July 4 Kevin Pakulis Band will be playing.
Attend a very special concert Sunday at 3:00 at Saguaro High School Auditorium (545 N. Camino Seco, Tucson, AZ 85732) entitled "Let Freedom Ring". Over 100 voices will put on an exciting show of patriotic music. Event is free, but donations will be accepted.
So, get out there and do something fun! There's lots to choose from!
