COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — The Colorado Rapids’ annual Fourth of July fireworks show in conjunction with Commerce City, which was postponed due to inclement weather, has been rescheduled for Saturday, July 8, following the Rapids’ match against FC Dallas at DICK’s Sporting Goods Park (7:30 p.m. MT), the club and city announced today.
Members of the public who would like to enjoy the fireworks show without attending the match are welcome to watch from the lots surrounding DICK’S Sporting Goods Park, which offer free parking. However, visitors must have a July 8th game ticket to be granted entrance into the stadium.
The Rapids’ July 4th match versus the Portland Timbers was postponed at halftime due to inclement weather and will resume at a later date, which will be announced in the coming days. Tickets purchased for July 4 will be honored at the rescheduled date; the club will contact July 4th ticketholders later this afternoon with additional information.
An annual tradition since their inaugural season in 1996, the Rapids have hosted the state’s largest public fireworks show as part of their Independence Day holiday celebrations each year.
