IMPORTANT JULY 4TH EVENT SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT: Please read this important safety information regarding this year's 4th of July Celebration. In preparation for the event, your AVCA team met with numerous vendors, such as OCFA, the Sheriff’s Department, and the contracted firework vendor. For everyone's safety, our pyrotechnic lead emphatically emphasized that the firework fallout zone must be pedestrian and vehicle free. We cannot and will not, under any circumstances, permit pedestrians or vehicles in the restricted area OR THE SHOW WILL BE CANCELLED. There will be street and sidewalk/pathway closures restricting pedestrian and vehicle traffic in and around Grand Park and neighboring communities. AVCA is contracting with the OC Sheriff’s Department and security to monitor the restricted areas. Please refer to the map below to see restricted areas and how to access the event properly and safely. We are asking for your help! This is a friendly reminder that anyone found accessing off limit boundaries is in violation of the law and may be arrested and/or found responsible for the firework cancelation. We promise it will be a great show for all but we can’t do it without your cooperation! Enjoy all it has to offer but PLEASE respect the fallout zone closures.
