Kids in America to headline Noblesville Fourth of July Fireworks Festival

The 2024 Noblesville Fireworks Festival has announced details for the free events taking place on Thursday, July 4, beginning at 4 p.m. with the Stars & Stripes Forever Parade through Downtown Noblesville.

“The Fourth of July is always a special day for my family and so many families throughout Noblesville, and our festivities have become a summer stable that brings our community together,” Mayor Chris Jensen said. “In addition to the festivities, we also take this opportunity to express our gratitude to those who have served and continue to serve our country, safeguarding our freedoms.”

The day kicks off at 4 p.m. with the annual Fourth of July Parade through downtown Noblesville, sponsored by Gaylor Electric. Registration to participate in the parade is $25 (nonprofits are not charged) and entries must be submitted by Friday, June 28. Forms are available at NoblesvilleFireworksFestival.com.

The Fireworks Festival, sponsored by IDI Composites International, will take place at Forest Park from 6 to 10 p.m. The event will include traditional park amenities such as trails, shelters, shade, and playgrounds, including the newly remodeled south playground; along with festival attractions like inflatables, balloon twisters and face painters in the Kids Zone. The Teen Zone also will have age-appropriate inflatables, Spyder bungee jump and a rock wall. New attractions this year include the return of a zip-line, inflatable corn maze and a two-person gyroscope.

Kids in America will perform iconic ‘80s music on the Pacers Sports and Entertainment Main Stage from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. The festivities will culminate with the annual fireworks show, which will begin at 10 p.m. and is sponsored by Midwest Paving, East Bank Apartments, Meijer, and Promenade Trails.

In addition to all the free events planned, Forest Park also features a limited VIP section where families and friends can purchase tables for the evening. These tables offer up-close seating to the live music performance, an exceptional view of the fireworks, separate bathrooms, and a great meeting place to safely gather and eat in between activities. VIP table groups may bring in their own food and drink, participate in a table-decorating contest, and get access to separate VIP restroom options. Tables seat eight people and cost $160. Funds received for VIP section accommodations help defray costs of hosting the community event.

Public parking will not be available at the park. Parking permits for the Noblesville Aquatic Center are available to purchase for $25 prior to July 4. Proper tags must be displayed to be able to enter the north entrance from State Road 19 during the festival. The July 4th Planning Committee has made traffic flow improvements to better manage end of event travel from Forest Park for motorists, pedestrians and trolley riders. The Noblesville Fireworks Festival offers free shuttle routes throughout and after the event to assist guests in getting to Forest Park from designated off-site parking lots.

VIP Tables and parking passes may be purchased online at NoblesvilleFireworksFestival.com or by calling the Noblesville Parks Department at (317) 776-6350.

The Noblesville Fourth of July parade, festival, and fireworks display is the longest continuously running celebration in Central Indiana and an annual tradition in Noblesville since 1997.
