Oldham County is launching its annual Fireworks and Fenders event series this July, featuring more than 45 events across La Grange, Crestwood, Prospect, and Westport. Organized by Oldham County Tourism, the monthlong lineup includes concerts, festivals, car shows, races, historical tours, and family activities.
Fourth of July celebrations will take place at multiple locations. Prospect’s Community Celebration begins at 6 p.m. with a parade, DJ, food trucks, children’s activities, and fireworks at dusk. Wendell Moore Park will host a second fireworks display set to music from 10 to 11 p.m.
Oldham County Day on July 19 will honor LMPD Officer Nick Wilt, who was injured in the April 2023 Old National Bank shooting, as this year’s Grand Marshal. A luncheon celebrating Wilt’s service will be held on July 15. The county fair also returns July 15–19, featuring unlimited rides, music, food vendors, and arena shows.
