The Catskills do July 4th differently. Here’s what’s happening near Peek-a-Blue for Independence Day 2026.

Fireworks & Festivals

• Delhi Fireworks (25 min) — Held at the Delaware County Fairgrounds, this is often the largest display in the region.
• Andes Community Celebration (10 min) — A smaller, more intimate celebration with live music and local food vendors.

Events and Parades

• Margaretville Parade: Main Street comes alive with fire trucks and local bands. It’s the quintessential small-town parade experience.
