Santa Barbara
The annual Spirit of '76 Fourth of July Parade will start at 1 p.m. Friday at Micheltorena and State streets in Santa Barbara and march down State Street, concluding at Cota Street. This year's theme will be "Made in the USA — Bill of Rights…Guard it.” The event is free of charge.
The annual Independence Day fireworks display will launch from West Beach at 9 p.m. and last approximately 20 minutes. The event is free and open to the public. There won’t be any pre-fireworks entertainment this year, since the SPARKLE organization that helps throw the annual spectacle couldn’t raise enough money.
The city of Santa Barbara's waterfront department and parks and recreation department organized the food vendors this year but there won’t be any pre-fireworks entertainment on Friday afternoon and evening. Since SPARKLE provides the stage and speaker system, there won’t be any music during the fireworks show, either, city parks and recreation director Nancy Rapp said.
