Salida Fireworks Community Fund

A Community Tradition - Powered by Community Giving

When you support Salida’s Parade of Lights and Fourth of July fireworks, you’re helping preserve moments that generations of neighbors have shared—gathering downtown, watching the sky light up, and celebrating what it means to belong to this community. These beloved traditions have always existed because people like you chose to show up, give back, and invest in experiences that connect us all.

Today, your generosity continues that legacy. The Chaffee County Community Foundation, working in partnership with the City of Salida, the Salida Community Center, High Country Bank, and dedicated volunteers, is building a sustainable, community-led model to keep these celebrations going strong. Because fireworks must be ordered well in advance and safety coordination requires long-term planning, ongoing community support is essential. Your donation helps ensure the fireworks fund is replenished year after year—so families, visitors, and future generations can keep gathering under the same bright Salida sky. This is not a one-time effort, but a shared commitment—and your support makes it possible.
