Crescent City Fourth of July Celebration

July 4

Join the community in Crescent City for the town's largest annual gathering: the 4th of July celebration!

A parade in downtown kicks off the morning at 10 a.m., and is followed by live music, a free theatrical event, food and drink, dancing, and fun in Beachfront Park.

Once the sun begins to set, folks migrate to the beach and harbor for an evening of bonfires and the largest fireworks display this side of San Francisco. Expect to see quite a few "unauthorized" fireworks displays peppering the beach before and after the official show at 9 p.m.

The event is family friendly and a ton of fun, even if the fog makes her usual appearance. Pack a picnic lunch at the hostel and enjoy it on the beach while you take in the show.
