LOCAL EVENTS

4th of July Camarillo Firework Show

 Join us on Monday, July 4th, for Camarillo’s 2022 Independence Day Fireworks Show! This year, the fireworks show will be hosted from the Camarillo Premium Outlet parking lots, and the best way to view the fireworks is to park and watch with family and friends.

This year’s show is entirely aerial. Viewers will be able to see the show from any of the Outlet Mall parking lots looking towards the direction of the ocean.

The 18-minute firework display begins promptly at 9:00 p.m. Parking is first come, first served. Parking spaces cannot be reserved, so please arrive early for best selection. No entry after 8:45 p.m. when road closures go into effect. Fireworks will also be visible from the surrounding areas, so we encourage you to find a safe location to observe the show. Admission is FREE; no ticket is needed. No additional activities are planned.

4th of July Fireworks Show & Family Picnic at Ventura College

The Rotary Club of Ventura is proud to bring back the annual 4th of July Fireworks Show & Family Picnic at Ventura College. Ventura will once again have a joyous, patriotic and safe celebration!

This year (because of how the dates fall and in order to secure a world-class pyrotechnic vendor) the event will be held on the evening of Sunday, July 3rd.

Tell your friends... the fireworks show will be held on Sunday, July 3rd this year!

Channel Island 4th of July Family Parade 

While there will not be a fireworks show at the Harbor this year, the Channel Islands Harbor 4th of July Family Parade will take place! Bring your strollers, wagons, and walking shoes for this one and walk north on Harbor Blvd. with your family and show off your favorite red, white, and blue attire.

The parade begins at 10:30 a.m. at Albacore Way, travels north up Harbor Blvd. and ends at Cabezone Circle, home to Marine Emporium Landing.

You must have a 4th of July Family Parade form filled out and submitted prior to participating. On July 4th, there will be a sign-in table at the corner of Harbor Blvd. and Albacore Way – the start of the parade route.

Ojai 4th of July Celebration 

Firework Show - Come join us at Nordhoff High School. Our small town firework show is a great way to end your 4th of July celebration. Join us at Nordhoff High School for a amazing show totally funded by the Ojai Independence Day Committee. Every ticket purchased goes to funding the parade and the fireworks.
