The 2023 4th Fest is set for July 4 at the Owensboro Convention Center. Inflatables and other activities for children will be located inside the exhibit halls during the evening, and guests can reserve seats to view the City of Owensboro’s Independence Day fireworks display that night. 

Activities for younger children will include the bouncer maze, Bucky’s Pirate Ship, and games such as the duck pond. Older children can enjoy the rock wall and spider climb, toxic warrior jump, and the extreme chaos obstacle course. Waivers will need to be signed to participate in some of the activities.

For guests wanting seats to view the City’s fireworks display over the Owensboro riverfront, tickets start at $10 and include exclusive early access to the inflatables and activities from 4-6 p.m. before they open to the public.    

(Editor’s note: There is no cost to view the fireworks from public areas. Only reserved seating at the Convention Center is ticketed.)

The activities inside the exhibit halls will be free and open to the public from 6-9 p.m. The fireworks display is scheduled to begin at approximately 9:15 p.m. Concessions will also be available on site.
