Find 4th of July Fireworks Shows in Santa Clarita
Fireworks Displays in SCV in 2022
As lifelong residents and local realtors, we’re pleased to share, locals will once again be able to enjoy a fireworks display. Of course, this is common knowledge, but I bet your news sources won’t share the insider information on where to park and how to get the best spot!
See below, listings for the fireworks displays at the Valencia Mall and Magic Mountain.
Once again, there is no fireworks show in Stevenson Ranch. We hope it returns in the future, but at least in 2022, it’s a no go!
Santa Clarita Fireworks Displays – Locations & Start Times
2022 – SCV 4th of July Local Information
There are two Santa Clarita locations for fireworks displays on the Fourth.
Westfield Town Center Mall
The mall has an outstanding fire works display and it’s FREE for all. Generally, most locals will tell you they like the mall fireworks the best. This is partly because you can listen to the music that goes along with the display by tuning in your radio to our Hometown Radio Station KHTS AM 1220 or 98.1 FM.
Here’s a Link Our HomeTown Radio Station where you can listen to the music that accompanies the fireworks display. Link to Listen Live.
Magic Mountain will be having their Coca-Cola July 4th Fest fireworks display and we have confirmed it goes on for 3 straight nights beginning on July 2nd through the 4th. Magic Mountain will cost you! Yes, you can view the Magic Mountain show from afar but you won’t see the whole show unless you are inside the park. In fact, the Magic Mountain display combines the fireworks with laser effects and it really is quite spectacular. All best viewed from inside the park.
Mall Fireworks Parking NOT Fun
So, if you want to get a good spot near the mall it’s best to arrive very early. Some people stop by early in the day and save their spots by placing blankets along the curb. We’ve never really seen the value in that because you still have to park and don’t forget, it’s worse getting out of the parking lot than it is getting in. We usually ride our bikes. You can get just about anywhere you want to go and it’s great exercise too. If you really want that special spot away from the crowds, try scoping out hilltops early in the day. You should be able to find a prime location to watch both the Magic Mountain and Mall fireworks.
2022 – YES The Santa Clarita 4th of July Parade is Back!
The Fourth of July celebrations in Santa Clarita consist of plenty more activities than just fireworks. If you’re planning on entering the parade be sure to visit the 2022 Santa Clarita Parade Website to register and get all the information.
- 6:30 am – Pancake Breakfast at the golf shop on Main street between 5th & 6th streets
- 7:00 am – 10K Run/Walk. Newhall Park
- 8:00 am – 5K Run/Walk. Newhall Park
- 9:00 am – Parade begins
The Fourth of July Parade will begin at 9:00am and travel along Lyons Avenue and Orchard Village, finishing along 16th street. We always arrive early for the pancake breakfast, this year at 6:30am! If you want shade, it’s best to get a spot on the South side of the street or anywhere under a tree. Don’t forget, it’ll probably be hot so be prepared and stay hydrated. Yes, parking is tough so get there early. Oh and by the way, the riding the bike suggestion works well for the parade as well.
Insider Information for the Fireworks Show
Okay, so we know you’re really looking for that one secluded spot with no crowd, easy parking and a perfect view of all the fireworks in SCV! Sorry, but that’s not going to happen. Well, there might be a few spots but really, all the residents enjoy the displays and most of the prime locations are filled up early.
Post Up Close to the Mall
The absolute best spot to enjoy the fireworks is to arrive EARLY to get situated near the mall. Yep, it’s going to be crowded and parking will not be fun, but do it anyway! It’s a terrific show, worth the crowds and parking issues. Many people go early in the day and set up their blankets and chairs. Heck, we can all use a bit of exercise. Find somewhere to park a couple miles from the mall and walk or ride your bike. Makes us want one of those little electric scooters!
Less Crowded View Locations
Obviously, you want a location that is up high with a view. You can find them up around the River Village community, around Newhall Ranch Road around the Golden Valley. The problem is, many of those streets don’t allow parking, so that means you’ll need to get close and walk. You’ll see the fireworks, but it’s a bit far from the show to fully enjoy!
Another good spot might be Newhall Ranch road about a mile east of 126. Again, parking is an issue, but this one will give you a great view of Magic Mountain.
The best advice we can give is to arrive early or park at a remote location so you can either walk or ride your bike. Don’t forget to bring a small, lightweight folding chair so once you find your spot, you can sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
