PROVO — Utahns began their Fourth of July activities in many ways across the state, and one of the West's most treasured traditions is the Freedom Festival parade that entertained large crowds Friday morning on its route through downtown Provo.

Activities began with the hot air balloon festival, the grand parade, as well as a fun run, military days and other events throughout Utah County. The popular Stadium of Fire is set to cap off the events Friday night with music, fireworks and a drone show.

Deseret News photojournalist Tess Crowley made the rounds Friday, capturing patriotic moments along the parade route.
