We’re coming up on a holiday weekend, and while there’s plenty of ways to get out and have fun around Kansas for the 4th, here are some of the state park celebrations with fireworks displays you can attend. *Keep in mind that you generally can’t set off your own fireworks at state parks. So sit back and enjoy the displays the parks put on for you!
