The Titan Solar Power Arizona Celebration of Freedom, held Monday, July 4 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., is the can't-miss Independence Day festival in the state. Here are the Top 10 reasons why you should be in downtown Mesa on the Fourth of July:

1. Yes, we have fireworks. Our spectacular fireworks show begins at 9:30 p.m. right after our Salute to America program at 9:15 p.m.

2. Lasers. That's right! We also have lasers. Get your "Introduction to Lasers" with three shows featuring spectacular laser displays, photos and music inside the Mesa Convention Center.

3. The Celebration of Freedom is a salute to all things free (including admission) but mostly America! Inside the fabulously air-conditioned Mesa Convention Center will be the Hall of U.S. Flags featuring the banners of all 50 states, the history of U.S. flags and the Fallen Soldiers Memorial. Outside you will find the Patriotic Military Showcase with military vehicles on display.

4. Beat the heat with KOOL Zones sponsored by KOOL-FM located throughout the event, and chase your children through the Splash Zone featuring inflatable waterslides.
