This Saturday is the 4th of July which means you need the 411 on area 4th events, right? Here's some info on shows close to Longmont but if you'll be somewhere else in Colorado that day check out metromix.com for a good list.
Longmont - Boulder County Fairgrounds
The Longmont 4th of July Fireworks Display is free and begins at 9:30 pm at the Boulder County Fairgrounds (Hover & Boston). There is no parking at the fairgrounds so you'll need to join the herds of people in nearby parks or parking lots. Everyone has their favorite place but generally within one mile is best for viewing. Also, the Times-Call says this is supposed to be the best fireworks in years and, since they haven't been the greatest recently, I'm really looking forward to it! Here is the official Longmont fireworks page where you can read more about legal vs. illegal fireworks too!
Boulder - Folsom Field
The fireworks at Folsom Field are always a hit. See this page for info on parking, what you can and can't bring, etc.
Niwot
7:30-10:30 Pancake Breakfast in Cottonwood Square
11 am Parade from Cottonwood Square through downtown (kids and pets encouraged!)
11:30 - 3 Walking Tours, Kids Games, Live Music
More info one Niwot's Calendar of Events page
Elsewhere
I've heard the events and fireworks in Firestone are fun but we haven't checked them out yet.
Estes Park always has a great show over Lake Estes plus a pancake breakfast, music and classic car show if you want to make a day of it. There are also shows in Ward (who not surprisingly doesn't have a website! ha!) and Nederland that have a bit more small town feel.
