INDEPENDENCE IS BETTER TOGETHER
On July 4th, we celebrate more than our nation’s independence—we celebrate the connections that make Waunakee feel like home. At WaunaBoom, friends, families, and neighbors come together for a day full of free activities, live music, delicious food, and spectacular fireworks. It's a celebration of laughter, lasting memories, and the kind of community spirit that reminds us we all belong.

FREE FUN FOR EVERYONE
From high-flying thrills to hands-on adventure, WaunaBoom has free activities for all ages. Reach new heights on the bungee trampoline, race remote-controlled cars on our action-packed WaunaBoom race track, hop aboard the trackless train or pirate ship, and meet friendly animals at the petting farm. Take a turn on a hand-led pony ride, then cool off under the firetruck mister. Experience an awe-inspiring F-35 flyover, a Black Hawk fly-in, and the debut of the WaunaBoom Parachute Team. Plus, join a casual game of cornhole or volleyball and soak up the summer spirit. Come ready for adventure—there’s something for everyone!

A FINALE LIKE NO OTHER
As night falls, the real magic begins. WaunaBoom’s fireworks show ignites the sky in perfect sync with music, creating a dazzling display of color and sound. Recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top 16 Fourth of July experiences in the nation, the show builds to a powerful finale you won’t forget. This stunning photo by Mark Weller captures that moment in a single, unforgettable frame.
