Fireworks in Orange County

Wow, it’s summer already and time to start thinking about (arguably) the most important holiday of the season. Where’s the best place to spend the 4th of July in Orange County this year? If you want to check out the fireworks in Orange County we’ve got a list for you. Here’s a list of the cities throughout Orange County offering Fireworks shows and more. I’m not sure where my family will spend the day for the 4th, but we usually mix it up with bike rides and beach day in Huntington Beach and end up with a family party later in the evening. This year, we might hang out in East Bluff Park again for the show in Newport Beach. My advice for any of these locations is to get there early, bring  a comfortable chair, plenty of snacks and beverages, and a sweatshirt/blanket. Hope you have a blast, literally!
