4th of July Fireworks

Southern California's BEST firework display is right here in beautiful Dana Point! Join us on Friday, July 4th at 9:00pm to view this incredible show. The fireworks are launched from a barge on the water, located off the coastline of Doheny State Beach, and viewable all around town.
 

Listen to a special fireworks soundtrack during the show at bit.ly/DP_Fireworks.

Prior to the fireworks display, the Condor Squadron, consisting of WWII North American AT-6 airplanes will be making a flyover in Dana Point from 5:50pm to 5:55pm, so look to the skies for this annual tradition.

Fourth of July is a very busy time in Dana Point, particularly in the Dana Point Harbor and Doheny State Beach area. If you plan to come for the fireworks, expect delays when departing after the event concludes.  A couple of other helpful tips:

• Use the Dana Point Trolley system, but keep in mind that the trolley STOPS RUNNING AT 8:30 PM. Visit http://bit.ly/DP_Trolley for hours of operation and route information.
• Park in legal parking spaces only.
• Access to Doheny State Beach on the morning of the 4^th is very congested. A line forms overnight so planning ahead is important. Please be courteous of others and do not cut in line. The City and State Parks staff will be sure to get you into the State Park quickly when the Park opens (subject to space availability).
• Scenic Drive will be closed at Cove Road starting as early as 6pm due to emergency access issues and will reopen after the fireworks. Cove Road will be closed from 8:30pm-9:30pm to allow for emergency access vehicles only and will reopen after the fireworks program to allow for exiting traffic from the Harbor to use that as an alternative.
• Trash becomes a big issue on this day. Please do your part in keeping our City clean and place all trash where it belongs.

At the end of the event, there will be traffic congestion, particularly for those exiting Harbor parking lots or Doheny State Beach after the fireworks. Allow plenty of time to safely get home. 

We look forward to a great event and bringing our families together!
