Four Nights of Freedom
Freedom Fest returns to the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess for an unforgettable celebration of America’s 250th birthday, bringing together three spectacular nights of patriotic energy, live entertainment, fireworks, family fun, and elevated summer experiences in the heart of Scottsdale. The 16th Annual Freedom Fest celebration invites guests to experience an extraordinary Fourth of July weekend filled with vibrant entertainment, warm desert evenings, and unforgettable moments shared beneath the Arizona sky.
From the moment the festivities begin, the atmosphere comes alive with excitement. Days are filled with sunshine, sparkling pools, dive-in movies, and family-friendly experiences across the resort, while evenings unfold into dazzling celebrations beneath the desert sky. Whether guests are visiting for a long holiday weekend or planning the ultimate summer getaway, Freedom Fest offers unforgettable moments around every corner.
One of the most anticipated moments of the weekend arrives on Friday, July 3rd, with an incredible 400-drone aerial spectacular illuminating the sky. This all-new experience combines innovative technology with patriotic celebration in a way the Valley has never seen before. Choreographed formations and dazzling displays will transform the night into an unforgettable visual experience, creating one of the summer’s most spectacular celebrations beneath the desert stars.
As the sun begins to set each evening, guests can gather at the Princess Lagoon Lawn for Concerts Under the Stars. High-energy live music, DJ performances, and military parachutists from the All-Veterans Parachute Team create an atmosphere filled with excitement and celebration. The combination of lively entertainment, warm desert breezes, and glowing summer skies creates an unforgettable backdrop for the holiday weekend.
The celebration continues nightly with electrifying fireworks displays from July 2 through July 4 at 9 p.m. Brilliant bursts of color illuminate the night sky above the resort, creating breathtaking moments best enjoyed from Lagoon Lawn, Canyon Lawn, Sunset Beach, and Princess Plaza. As fireworks shimmer overhead and music carries throughout the evening, the entire resort comes alive in celebration.
Beyond the nighttime festivities, Freedom Fest invites guests to fully immerse themselves in summer at the Princess. Six sparkling pools, exceptional dining experiences, dive-in movies, family-friendly activities, and immersive resort entertainment create endless opportunities to relax, reconnect, and celebrate together.
