July 4th events in Arkadelphia: Fireworks, Farmer’s Market

Residents and visitors to the Arkadelphia area are in for a star-spangled lineup of events for Independence Day celebrations.

Here are the July 4th, 2025, events we’re aware of:

Dazzle at DeGray

The annual fireworks show at DeGray Lake, dubbed Dazzle at DeGray, promises to be the largest display in the event’s history in 2025.

Beginning at 9 p.m. Friday, July 4, spectators will be treated to a booming array of colorful explosions shot skyward from the Lakeview area and visible from multiple locations along the shores of DeGray. This free event draws in droves of folks to the lake.

This year, spectators will be allowed to view the fireworks from the DeGray Dam, located on Skyline Drive. To accommodate this, a portion of Skyline Drive will be closed beginning at 8 p.m., with the westbound lane available for parking in a single-file line and the eastbound closed to thru traffic. Channel Road will be used as a detour.

Beginning at 6 p.m. free parking will be available at the spillway recreation area and at the Corps of Engineers Visitors Center.

Spectators are encouraged to bring lawn chairs; pop-up tents or other items that skew the view will not be allowed. Visitors will not be allowed to walk on the dam until 8 p.m.

On Saturday morning, July 5, the second of three Main Street Farmer’s Market events will line the streets of downtown Arkadelphia.
