That era is over. In June 2024 the city <a href="https://bouldercolorado.gov/news/celebrating-fourth-july-boulder-look-different-year">confirmed the event had ended</a> after WK Real Estate concluded its 24-year sponsorship — a run City Manager Nuria Rivera-Vandermyde described as &quot;nearly two and a half decades&quot; of one company carrying the holiday for the whole city. There is no flagship July 4 show in Boulder in 2026, and the city, Visit Boulder, the Boulder Chamber, and CU are still looking for a sponsor willing to revive it.</p>
