Hot Dogs On Classic Picnic Table

Boulder City Damboree

Featuring a pancake breakfast, a parade, a legendary water fight, games, booths and concession stands and of course fireworks the Boulder City Damboree Celebration remains one of the best ways to celebrate Independence Day in the Las Vegas Valley.

Each year on the 4th of July the Las Vegas "suburb" of Boulder City hosts the Boulder City Damboree Celebration. This year commemorates its 64th year with the catchphrase "Preserving Our Past to Educate the Future".  Built in the 1930's to house and entertain the men building the Hoover Dam, Boulder City remains a quaint slice of Americana that is often difficult to find in modern, activity driven and neon illuminated Las Vegas.

The parade starts after the free pancake breakfast at 9 AM and features a water battle on one of the float.

The riders and parade bystanders battle with squirt guns, water balloons, and lots of screaming.

Start with free pancakes (yum) at the crack of dawn. The real fun begins with the parade at 9:00 AM. Famous for the water battle section of the parade, where float riders and bystanders battle with squirt guns and water balloons, this parade is more fun and cooling than most. Just make sure to know the rules. Check them out on the Boulder City Official website www.bcnv.org.
