Fourth of July Celebration
Join us for our annual Fourth of July Celebration, hosted by the Waterfront and Parks and Recreation Departments!
If you're looking for somewhere to celebrate this Independence Day, there'll be no better place than Santa Barbara's waterfront. A full slate of festive, fun, and family-friendly activities is planned throughout the day, including free live music and dance performances on the beach, hosted by the PARC Foundation!
The festivities will be capped off with a bang during a 20-minute fireworks display, presented by Garden State Fireworks and sponsored by the City's Waterfront Department. Fireworks will launch from West Beach starting at approximately 9 p.m. The show will be simulcast on local radio station KjEE (92.9 FM) and live-streamed on KEYT.com. The City thanks KjEE and KEYT for their longtime support of this community tradition.
