Long Beach's Fireworks Extravaganza

The City of Long Beach's annual Fireworks Extravaganza will take place on Friday, July 7 this year, with a rain date of July 8.

The fun kicks off at 3 p.m. with tons of food and craft vendors lining the boardwalk from Long Beach Boulevard to Riverside Boulevard.

At 8 p.m., the concert on Long Beach Boulevard starts, featuring New York Minute, the Gloria Estefan Tribute Show.

The fireworks by Bay Fireworks start at dark, launched from an ocean barge, and can be seen throughout the city. Any seat along the boardwalk or beach will offer fantastic views.

To help ease congestion, the city will be running fireworks shuttle buses from the east and west ends of town starting at 7 p.m., which will drop residents off at Riverside Boulevard. The shuttles will run until 11 p.m.

Parking during the show is going to be very limited. The city encourages residents and guests to use the shuttle buses. For more information on the shuttle buses and their routes, click here.
