The Morning Kick-Off: Main Street Parade
The celebration begins at 9:00 AM with the annual Benson 4th of July Parade. Local marching bands, vintage cars, creative floats, and horseback riders wind through the historic streets.
🌊 Mid-Day Heat: The Great Water Fight
Once the parade wraps up, the action shifts to Lions Park for one of Benson’s most beloved traditions: the Fire Department Water Fights.
• Watch as local fire departments go head-to-head, using high-pressure hoses to push a barrel across a cable.
• It’s refreshing, and it’s a masterclass in teamwork (and making a massive splash).
ðŸŒMore fun at Lions Park: Festival & Community
The park transforms into a community hub as the water fights are taking place and there is plenty to keep you busy until the sun goes down:
• Vendors: Browse a wide variety of food trucks and local craft vendors.
• Cornhole Tournament: Grab a partner and test your aim. Whether you’re a pro or play in the backyard, the competition is friendly but fierce.
• Family Fun: Look for the watermelon eating contest and free activities.
• Live Music: Throughout the afternoon and evening, local bands and performers take the stage, filling the air.
🎆 The Grand Finale: Fireworks Under the Stars
As the desert air finally begins to cool, the community gathers at the park and the surrounding areas for the main event. At 8:30 PM, the sky over Benson ignites with a spectacular Fireworks Extravaganza.
