San Luis rings in the Fourth with music, food, and fireworks

SAN LUIS, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Thousands gathered at Joe Orduño Park in San Luis for the city's annual Fourth of July Freedom Celebration, one of its largest community events of the year.

Families enjoyed a festive evening packed with food, music, and entertainment. More than 50 vendors offered everything from tacos to tortas, while kids cooled off at the park's activity zone.

"Tonight, we have one of the best fireworks shows in Yuma County and a great lineup for the community," said Francia Alonso with the City of San Luis.

That lineup included a performance from Ronda Machetera and a headlining concert by the Kumbia Kingz, lighting up the stage just before the fireworks finale.

Organizers say the night was a celebration of not just Independence Day, but the local community itself.
