2021 Northern Minnesota + Wisconsin 4th Of July Fireworks Guide

After a year of uncertainty around Independence Day festivities in 2020, this year's 4th of July community celebrations are largely back to normal. As the Northland gets ready to celebrate America's birthday with community festivals, events, and fireworks displays, we wanted to offer a schedule of when and where to catch the 2021 fireworks shows around Northeastern Minnesota and Northwestern Wisconsin.

Beside fireworks shows, we have also included links to many communities' information about other 4th of July festivities around the region, so you can make plans to enjoy the holiday weekend.

With shows spread across a handful of days, you can pick your favorite shows and make a full weekend out of viewing across the region. Here is a full schedule of displays across the Northland.
