Inland Empire 4th Of July Fireworks: Your 2020 Guide To Events

RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CA — Independence Day celebrations will look decidedly different this year, as COVID-19 concerns spurred cancellations of most July 4th parades, carnivals and fireworks extravaganzas throughout the Inland Empire.

At least three, previously scheduled, regional fireworks shows were dropped this week: in Lake Elsinore; at Lake Arrowhead; and in Big Bear.

But throughout Riverside County and the Inland Empire, live July 4th fireworks still are planned from Twentynine Palms and Agua Caliente in Rancho Mirage. Plus several communities are hosting patriotic, fun activities to do from home, decorating contests or virtual fireworks.

Scroll through the list, and see what's going on near you. Stay safe, and have a Happy Fourth of July, from Patch!
