4th of July Fireworks

Southern California's BEST fireworks display is right here in Dana Point!

Fireworks are shot from a barge located off Doheny State Beach. Listen to music during the show on Spotify: bit.ly/DPFireworks

Prior to the fireworks display the Condor Squadron, consisting of WWII North American AT-6 airplanes, will be making a flyover Dana Point from 5:55pm to 6:00pm, so look to the skies for this annual tradition. 

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

  1. Use the Dana Point Trolley system; the Trolley stops running at 8:30PM.
  2. Park in legal parking spaces only.
  3. Access to Doheny State Beach in the morning of the 4th is very congested; A line forms overnight so plan ahead if you are trying to get into the State Beach early on the 4th. Left turn movements on Dana Point Harbor Drive will be restricted in the early morning hours between PCH and Golden Lantern and continuously in the Harbor during the event.
  4. Scenic Drive will be closed at Cove Road starting at 8 PM due to emergency access issues and will reopen after the fireworks.  Cove Road will be closed from 8:50PM-9:30PM to allow for emergency access vehicles only, and will reopen after the fireworks to allow for exiting traffic from the Harbor to use that as an alternative.

Again, 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.
