Escondido's annual July 4th fireworks display in Grape Day Park has delighted young and old alike with its spectacular displays and wholesome family entertainment. It has become an intrinsic part of our shared community heritage and has been instrumental in encouraging patriotism and instilling a love of our great nation into the hearts of our children.

Pack a picnic, grab a blanket and head to Grape Day Park on July 4 for a fun-filled, star-spangled celebration!

Enjoy a variety of free entertainment, including musical performances, magicians, baton twirlers, children's arts projects, old-fashioned contests and, of course, fireworks. A variety of refreshments will be available for purchase.

Please note: BBQs, alcohol, pets, and tall chairs should not be brought to the park.

The event is generously sponsored by the Linden Root Dickinson Foundation, SDG&E, and GEICO Insurance. Without the support of these dedicated sponsors, the July 4th Celebration and Fireworks would not be possible.  The event is organized by the California Center for the Arts, Escondido; the City of Escondido; the Escondido History Center; American Legion Post 149; and the North County Times.
