Get ready to kick off your Independence Day festivities in true Ellisville style! On Friday, July 4, 2025, our community will come together for an unforgettable evening of hometown fun, live music, and dazzling fireworks. Whether you’re a longtime resident or a newcomer, this is the perfect way to celebrate America’s birthday with friends and family.
Rocking Summer Vibes: Griffin and the Gargoyles
Hit Bluebird Park by 7:00 PM to grab a spot for an energetic performance by Griffin and the Gargoyles. Known for their blend of classic rock riffs and modern flair, this band will have everyone swaying along to crowd-pleasing anthems. Feel free to stroll through the BBQ and drink vendor area for a juicy burger, savory ribs, or a refreshing lemonade. With live music setting the mood, you’ll be tapping your toes long before the first note drops.
When the Sky Lights Up
At 9:15 PM, lift your eyes skyward for our Spectacular Fireworks Display. Bursts of color will dance over the park, synchronized to a soundtrack that celebrates our freedoms and shared spirit. Pro tip: bring a cozy blanket or lawn chair so you can relax under the stars and soak in every exploding bloom of red, white, and blue.
