July 4th Events in Louisiana: Celebrating 250

See July 4th Events in Louisiana and Celebrate America's 250th Anniversary

July 4th events in Louisiana range from local fireworks shows to full-scale festivals and everything in between. This July 4th, in addition to the normal Independence Day festivities, America celebrates its 250th anniversary.

While we offer the Louisiana Life Festival Guide, which readers receive monthly when they’re signed up for our newsletter, we decided that July 4th events in Louisiana require their own list, aside from the many exciting July festivals happening throughout the rest of the month.
