Coca-Cola® July 4th Fest at Six Flags Great Escape & Splashwater Kingdom

Independence Day is more than just a holiday, it’s the ultimate American tradition. For five consecutive days – Saturday, June 30 through Wednesday, July 4 - join Six Flags Great Escape & Splashwater Kingdom as we celebrate our country, enjoy the summer, and share great times with friends at Coca-Cola July 4th Fest.

On each morning of July 4th Fest, you have the opportunity to get special ERT (Exclusive Ride Time) and early entry into the park! Simply bring a can of Coke, empty or full, and exchange it outside the gate for a wristband for the day of your visit. You will still require a park admission ticket, Season Pass, or Membership to gain entry to this event. Use that wristband to enter the ride lines of the rides open that morning before the park opens to the public!

Throughout July 4th Fest, make plans to visit Fest Area for special games, live DJs and tons of other great entertainment! There will be plenty of opportunities to win great prizes like Season Passes, tickets to Fright Fest and some great Coca-Cola swag! Don’t miss out!

And it wouldn’t be July 4th without fireworks! You’ll be dazzled by brilliant fireworks displays, all five nights of our July 4th celebration. By day, stroll the park snacking on scrumptious treats like ice cream sundaes and funnel cakes, then take in the eye-popping fireworks shows under the warm summer skies, alongside our all-new Foam Dance Party! This is one giant celebration that you don't want to miss.
