All 4 Viewing Spots — Murray, UT
Murray Park - softball field / pond area (Murray Fun Days)
High crowd · park · Free
Murray's own July 4 show - Murray Fun Days - launches from the Murray Park softball field (296 E Murray Park Ave) at 10 PM following an 8-10 PM concert; the park's pond and central lawns are the primary viewing area. Face EAST/SOUTHEAST toward the launch with the Wasatch front (Mount Olympus/Cottonwood ridgeline) as the backdrop and mature park trees plus residential streets framing the foreground. Flat valley-floor viewing. CONFIRMED via two sources for 2025 (July 4, fireworks 10 PM); 2026 details not yet posted on murray.utah.gov - confirm closer to the date. WILDFIRE/DROUGHT CAVEAT: with Utah at 100% drought (59% extreme) as of July 2025 per the Utah Division of Water Resources, Murray could convert to a drone show in a severe year (the park has hosted standalone drone shows at other June events). Arrive by 8:30 PM; park in/around the park and along State Street; TRAX Red Line Murray Central and Murray North stations are a short distance west. Show type: fireworks.
Murray Park pond (waterfront)
High crowd · waterfront · Free
The Murray Park pond gives the signature reflective foreground - set up on the pond's WEST edge and face EAST toward the softball-field launch so the fireworks burst over the water with the Wasatch front behind; trees ring the pond so claim a clear sightline early. Flat valley-floor viewing. WILDFIRE/DROUGHT CAVEAT: the show could shift to a drone display in extreme drought (Utah was 100% in drought, 59% extreme, in summer 2025) - confirm format before going. Arrive by 8:00 PM to claim pond-side space; park early as the lots fill; TRAX Red Line Murray Central station ~0.7 mi west. Show type: fireworks.
Bonneville Shoreline Trail - Mount Olympus area bench (above Holladay, east of Murray)
Low crowd · elevated · Free
The nearest public east-bench elevated vantage to Murray is the BST/Mount Olympus foothill bench above neighboring Holladay, roughly 4,800-5,000 ft and about 300-500 ft above the valley floor; face WEST/SOUTHWEST and you can see Murray Park's fireworks plus Holladay, Millcreek and Cottonwood Heights shows simultaneously, with Mount Olympus rising sharply to the EAST behind you. Open bench with broad valley sightlines. WILDFIRE/DROUGHT CAVEAT: dry foothill in a fire-restricted zone - high wildfire risk (Utah was 100% in drought, 59% extreme, in summer 2025) and city shows can shift to drone in extreme drought. ACCESS WARNING: many east-bench approaches here are via private subdivision roads - use a public BST trailhead (e.g., off Wasatch Blvd) and arrive before dusk (~8:15 PM) as small lots fill fast; bring a headlamp. No transit. Show type: fireworks.
Residence Inn Salt Lake City Murray - upper-floor mountain-side rooms
Low crowd · hotel room · Paid
This all-suite hotel sits just off I-15 with the Wasatch Mountains and adjacent Murray Park nearby; guests report mountain views from upper floors. For the Fun Days show request a top-floor room on the EAST/mountain side facing the Wasatch - that orientation also looks toward Murray Park's launch a short distance east, but the view is NOT guaranteed and the I-15 corridor and surrounding buildings block lower/west-facing rooms. At booking ask for 'highest-floor east-facing room toward Murray Park and the mountains, away from I-15.' No rooftop bar. WILDFIRE/DROUGHT CAVEAT: Murray's fireworks may convert to drone format in severe drought - confirm before booking for the view. Book 3-4 weeks ahead; TRAX Red Line Murray Central station is nearby. Show type: fireworks.
