🎆 Salute to the USA 🎆
The Town of Avon is excited to kick off Independence Day weekend on July 3 in Avon and celebrate with our community! This milestone year celebrates the 40th annual Salute to the USA, along with Colorado’s 150th and our nation’s 250th anniversaries.
Currently, the Town is planning to move forward with launching the fireworks display on July 3.
Town of Avon has spent considerable time discussing and evaluating safety considerations, including recent weather patterns, forecasting, and our unique lakeside venue. Safety protocols are in place, such as reducing the display to 4-inch shells, mowing and clearing vegetation along the railroad corridor, and watering those areas with non-potable water both the day before and the day of the event.
The safety of our residents and guests remains our highest priority. The Town will continue to assess conditions in coordination with our fireworks vendor and our fire district partners.
🚗 Traffic Exit Plan 🚌
To improve the post-event experience and reduce traffic delays, the Avon Police Department will be implementing a new traffic management plan this year.
In 2026 the plan is as follows:
➡ Traffic exiting from West Beaver Creek Boulevard will be directed westbound only onto U.S. Highway 6.
➡ Traffic exiting from Beaver Creek/Bear Lots area will be directed eastbound only onto U.S. Highway 6. No westbound turns will be permitted.
➡ Traffic will not be allowed to travel north on Avon Road and will instead be directed to continue north on Post Boulevard, where motorists can then travel east or west.
➡ An officer will be stationed at the new traffic signal near Stonebridge (Eaglebend Drive) to help maintain a steady flow of eastbound traffic.
You can expect updates in the weeks and days leading to the event. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to provide a safe and enjoyable celebration for everyone.
