Celebrate our nation’s independence with explosions of color and texture on the land and in the air at this popular annual event. Plan to arrive early to stake out a seat on the grass with your picnic blanket. Guests can partake of several hands-on activities  during the afternoon and enjoy our blooms in the ground. When the sun goes down, the Lee’s Summit Symphony will accompany the booms in the sky. This festival features food and beverage vendors all day. Festival admission and parking fees apply. Powell Gardens members get in free to the festival and receive free parking!
