Fourth of July in Rochester
Updated for 2025
Starting in 2026, the City of Rochester is transitioning away from the former 4th Fest concert event at Soldiers Field. In its place, the City will continue to support a fireworks display and explore a new media partnership to share music and community messages in a broadcast format. More details on that broadcast will be shared as they are confirmed.
In 2026, the Rochester Community Band will also present an celebratory concert on July 4 at Cascade Lake Park.
Fireworks will take place on Saturday, July 4, 2026 at 10:00 p.m. They are free and open to the public.

Transit Authority - 8:30 PM - Transit Authority has become known throughout the U.S. as the premier tribute band to the iconic group Chicago. Based out of St. Paul, Minnesota, this eight member ensemble creates an accurate musical salute to the greatest horn driven rock band to ever hit the stage. Transit Authority's mission is to recreate the excitement of the original Chicago's sound with each and every performance. Transit Authority has assembled some amazingly talented musicians who meticulously capture all the nuances of the original recordings and will honestly make you believe you are witnessing the real thing.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support Grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund.
