SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is unfurling its 8^th annual 4th of July Freedom Fest, featuring six nights of fireworks, three concerts, a vintage air show, all-American fare, military tributes and poolside fun, with vacation packages benefiting military families, June 29 - July 4, 2018.  While celebrating America's birthday, this AAA Five Diamond hotel is also celebrating the "Best.

Saluting America's heroes, the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess will host an air show with the Falcon Warbirds on July 4, where 30 vintage military aircraft from World War II, Korea and Vietnam will fly over the resort, piloted by retired veterans. The air show concludes with a military parachutist from the All Veterans Parachute Team soaring through the skies and landing with American and military flags.

Revelers can dance and celebrate with live music under the stars on the Princess Lagoon Lawn at the Freedom Fest concerts.
