The Mile High City gears up for Independence Day with a free concert by the Colorado Symphony Orchestra at Civic Center Park on Tuesday, July 3, 2012. The third-annual Park Hill 4th of July Parade celebrates America's 236th birthday on Wednesday, July 4, 2012 at 1:30 p.m. Soccer fans can enjoy a Colorado Rapids game on July 4, while history buffs can travel back in time with an Old-Fashioned July 4th Celebration. What are your plans for Fourth of July?
