Las Vegas will celebrate America’s 250th birthday with eight consecutive Saturdays of fireworks, beginning June 6. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority Wednesday announced the program that runs through July 25.

The collective scale and scope of the weekly, eight-minute, synchronized show will make it the largest summer fireworks show in the nation, transforming the Strip and downtown into a citywide celebration, the LVCVA said in a statement.

It’s part of a new summer campaign, “Pack for Vegas,” to market “a blockbuster season of headline residencies, global superstars, new shows, and nonstop day-to-night entertainment.

Pack for Vegas highlights the breadth of experiences available this season, from high-energy dayclubs and immersive attractions to new venues and major live events, reinforcing Las Vegas as a destination built for unforgettable experiences, the LVCVA said.

“Las Vegas is always a hot ticket for summer travel and this year, the celebrations will reach new heights,” said Steve Hill, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. “We’re marking America’s 250th anniversary with fireworks lighting up the skyline across eight consecutive Saturdays, alongside everything visitors expect from a city that’s all in all the time.”

The America250 Fireworks Celebration, designed and produced by Fireworks by Grucci in partnership with Visit Las Vegas and Las Vegas Events, will feature an eight-minute show every Saturday night at 9 p.m. synchronized to music broadcast on KOMP 92.3, 97.1 The Point, and 98.9 HANK.
