The 20th annual Wild West Festival will celebrate Independence Day with a bang on Friday with what is billed as the largest fireworks show in the region.

The free Fireworks Spectacular is set to light up the sky at 10 p.m. Friday

Before that, however, there’s music and baseball to be played.

The Wild West Festival Baseball tournament will be played at Larks Park, as well as fields at Hays High School and Thomas More Pre-Marian.

Kids 15 and younger also are invited for a free swim day at Hays Aquatic Park from noon to 7 p.m. There also will be an Aquatic Fitness Mixer at the water park from 9:30 to 11 a.m., where a variety of water workouts will be demonstrated.
