Red, White, and BOOM!
Head to LEGOLAND California in nearby Carlsbad for holiday fun for the whole family! After spending the day experiencing the magic of the park, cap off the evening with a spectacular fireworks display set to patriotic music. There are several viewing locations throughout the park. All Red, White, and BOOM activities are included with the cost of admission.
San Diego County Fair
If fried food, fair rides, and carnival games sound like fun to you, then head to the San Diego County Fair this 4th of July! Located at the nearby Del Mar Fairgrounds, July 4th is the closing day of this popular destination – so it will go out with a bang! The aerial show begins at approximately 9 pm. It includes more than 3,600 displays including titanium flash salutes, color-changing aerial displays, and streaking comets.
Old Fashioned Fourth of July Celebration
Want to celebrate the holiday as they did in the olden days? Then take a trip to nearby Poway to experience their Old Fashioned Fourth of July Celebration. This fun festival features western re-enactors, patriotic entertainment, old-fashioned games, train displays, and kids’ crafts. They’re open from 10 am to 4 pm. Make it an easy day by taking a shuttle to the festival grounds. They are available from both Poway City Hall and the Poway Adult School.
