4th of July Celebration & Fireworks
Voted by readers of the OC Register as one of the best places to celebrate the 4th of July, Huntington Beach offers more than just a spectacular firework show. Each year Huntington Beach puts together the longest parade west of the Mississippi River, a multi-day festival, and a firework show off of the pier with a view that’s near impossible to beat. The celebration also includes a 5K run/walk and a pancake breakfast on the morning of July 4th.

Star-Spangled Groovy Fest
Newport Beach offers a range of entertaining activities and events to celebrate the Fourth of July including: an incredible fireworks display at Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort & Marina – a two-day festival with live music featuring Tom Solis Band, Mirage (a Fleetwood Mac tribute band), local artisans, merchants and a family fun zone. Those in attendance will find plenty of great food options from local food trucks scattered throughout the event.
1131 Back Bay Drive in Newport Beach. 949.729.3863.
Independence Day Celebration
Santa Ana will once again host their 4th of July celebration beginning at 4:00 p.m. at Centennial Park. This event will not only have plenty of family-friendly fun like face painting and a “Kid Zone Play Area,” but will also pay tribute to our Armed Forces to recognize the true importance of Independence Day. The firework show will begin at 9 p.m. sharp but make sure to arrive early to stake out your spot. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and blankets to be as comfortable as possible during the show.
Centennial Park is at 3000 W. Edinger Ave. in Santa Ana. 714.571.4254.
