The 4th of July Festival 2024 Information and Details
We celebrate big for the 4th of July! The celebration starts with a deck party from 5-8 pm on Wednesday, July 3 at the Cultural Center in Crescent City (across from Beachfront Park). The 4th of July festivities begin with FREE RE/MAX hot air balloon rides at 7 am followed by the parade through downtown — the lineup starts at 8:30 am and the parade starts at 10 am. The parade route is H Street and 9th Street before winding its way down to 3rd Street, up to K Street, and over to Front Street. Due to the generosity of our local sponsors, the parade is free to all of those who enter the parade as well as all spectators. The parade entry form will be available soon to participate!
Enjoy a fun run (see below), live music, food, a beer garden, arts and crafts, merchandise and vendors all day long at Beachfront Park followed by the biggest fireworks show on the north coast (starts at dusk.) Watching the fireworks over the Battery Point Lighthouse is an amazing sight to see! Fireworks can be seen from all beaches in Crescent City. Thank you to Lucky 7 Casino and Hotel for the fireworks show!
