July 4th in the Catskills: Margaretville Fireworks and Events

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

Fireworks & Festivals

  • Margaretville Field Days (5 min) — This is the big one. The Fire Department hosts a multi-day carnival at the Village Park with rides, local BBQ, and a massive fireworks show that echoes through the valley.
  • 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.
  • Pakatakan Farmers’ Market: The Round Barn will be open Saturday morning. Grab local steaks and corn for a holiday cookout on the cabin deck.

Stay at Peek-a-Blue

July 4th weekends fill up fast. Book direct and save the service fees. Enjoy 3 private acres, a wood-fired sauna for post-hike recovery, and plenty of space for the kids to run while you prep the grill.
