Vail’s small-town charm offers a fun, yet relaxing weekend in the mountains. The parade on Sunday, July 4th at 10 a.m. is a local favorite with many unique entries. The parade starts at Golden Peak and makes its way through Vail Village to Lionshead. From noon to 3 p.m. enjoy the live entertainment in Vail Village. Celebrate with a free Dallas Symphony Orchestra patriotic concert at the Gerald Ford Amphitheater, Sunday 2 p.m. Fireworks will light up the sky with the mountains as a backdrop around 9:45 p.m. http://summer.vail.com/summer/
