Del Mar Fireworks And Parade Cancelled But Beach And Businesses Open

Press release from the City of Del Mar:

July 1, 2020

The Fourth of July fireworks display at the Del Mar Fairgrounds is cancelled. But our beach will be open throughout the weekend, with plenty of staffing and sanitizing to keep visitors safe.

Del Mar’s Fourth of July parade also is cancelled. But our downtown businesses are open and welcome your visit.

As America celebrates its independence, the City of Del Mar is committed to following public health orders. We ask that our residents and visitors do the same: Wear a face covering, keep six feet of distance from non-household members, wash your hands frequently and stay home if you feel sick.

In observance of the Independence Day holiday, the Del Mar Civic Center will be closed on Friday.

However, the three-day, Fourth of July weekend will have lifeguards, parking enforcement officers and beach maintenance technicians scheduled to start early and work late. The Sheriff’s Department is deploying extra deputies.

The private use of pyrotechnics is against the law.

Portable restrooms are on order for Powerhouse Park and five locations near the beach. All of them are scheduled to receive multiple cleanings and disinfection treatments.

Tow-away zones are planned along segments of Stratford Court and Ocean Avenue. A temporary loading zone is planned at 20th Street.

As the Department of Community Services works to keep visitors safe, visitors are asked above all else to be courteous and respectful of each other.
