Jackson Hole Jaycees Pancake Breakfast
The Jackson Hole Jaycees have been serving a Fourth of July pancake breakfast since 1977. For 33 years, over 1,000 locals and visitors have gathered on Center Street to visit with friends and support the Jaycees Fire in the Hole Fireworks Show. Those in attendance this year can expect a hearty breakfast of eggs, sausage, and pancakes to ensure they are well fueled for the many events celebrating Independence Day in Jackson. All profits from the breakfast enable the Jaycees to complete projects like the community fireworks and scholarships for local students. Breakfast will be served from 8:00-10:00am. Adult tickets cost $10 and children cost $5. To purchase tickets in advance, please contact Nicki McDermott at nics1002@hotmail.com or Laura Bannister at bannister.laura@gmail.com.

Music in the Hole
Music in the Hole is a free outdoor concert put on by the Grand Teton Music Festival and features the Grand Teton Music Festival Orchestra. As many as 8,000 people have set out blankets in front of the outdoor stage at Alpine Field in west Jackson to enjoy a patriotic day under the typically bluebird skies of Jackson Hole. The musical event often features familiar patriotic tunes but also endeavors to keep the event fresh by adding other musical elements. Several food and beverage vendors are on hand in case you forget your picnic spread. Visit www.gtmf.org for more information.
Jackson Hole Shootout
The Jackson Hole Shootout will make a special exception to the rule: "No Shootin' On Sundays!" See the longest-running shootout reenactment that is complete with handsome cowboys, dangerous villains, and saloon girls in vintage skirts! The Jackson Hole Shootout takes place each evening at 6:00pm on Town Square.
Rodeo
Wyoming is proud of our cowboy heritage and the Jackson Hole Rodeo is your chance to see it up close! Rodeo is a modern competitive sport with the heart of rough and tumble ranch hands of generations past. The Fourth of July Rodeo will be held at 8:00pm at the Teton County Rodeo Grounds.

Fireworks!
Jackson Hole's Fourth of July Celebration concludes with a world-class fireworks display put on by the Jackson Hole Jaycees. Despite Jackson's small size, the town puts on a fireworks show to rival any big city in the country. Thousands of locals and visitors gather at the base of Snow King Mountain at dusk to take in the show.
The Jackson Jaycees have joined with Q102-KCHQ FM radio to provide a LIVE soundtrack of patriotic music that will be played during the fireworks display Sunday evening. This is ideal for locals and visitors who are not able to join the Jaycees at the base of Snow King. Now you can sit in your car, tailgate at your favorite place or on your favorite grassy spot anywhere around Jackson with your radio and listen while the fireworks light up the Jackson sky. Tune to 102.1FM in town or 102.5 at Teton Village and the Moose area Sunday night at about 10:00pm.
Spending your holiday in Teton Village?
Enjoy fireworks displays on both July 3rd and July 4th! There will be free live music prior to the Fireworks show on both evenings. On Saturday, July 3, Isaac Hayden will be playing in or near the Silver Collector Car Show tent, next to the Mangy Moose. The following day, the music of the Jackson Six will flow from the Village Commons, where concert-goers can sit under the stars in the newly completed amphitheater. Both shows will feature local performers. The fireworks shows begin at 10:00pm.
