Happy Fourth of July from Newport Beach, CA

fourth of July flag

Happy Fourth of July! July 4th is the 185th day of the year and today is a federal holiday (holiday to actually be observed on July 5, 2010) and this is the 234 year which celebrates the United States independence from Great Britain. The 4th of July Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776.

On the 4th of July in Newport Beach, families get together for parades, barbecues, and get togethers. There are some changes this year if you have intentions of visiting the beach. Make sure you arrive early. There are activities all over town including the Huntington Beach Parade in Huntington Beach, and a Fireworks Extravaganza at Newport Dunes in Newport Beach. Additionally, there is the 53rd Old Glory Boat Parade which begins today at 1 pm. Keep in mind that fireworks are illegal in the city of Newport Beach.

Fourth of July in Newport Beach

One of the biggest changes from last year is that a main entrance to the Balboa Peninsula at West Balboa Boulevard and West Coast Highway will be closed not only to vehicles (as in the past years) but this year to bikes and pedestrians as well. That means all traffic going onto the Balboa Peninsula will be from Newport Boulevard.

Have a safe and Happy Fourth of July!
