• Arrive early — roll in 60–90 min ahead
• Phoenix is under Stage 1 fire restrictions — **you can leave the fireworks to the pros** and check your city's rules for anything at home
• Absolutely no celebratory gunfire — it's illegal (Shannon's Law) and terribly dangerous
• Bring water, chairs, and cash for the food trucks 💧🪑
