City of Orange Plans Festive Activities for July 4th as Part of Countywide Celebrations

As Orange County prepares for Independence Day, the City of Orange is set to celebrate with its own signature mix of small-town charm and community spirit. Residents can look forward to neighborhood gatherings, patriotic décor throughout Old Towne, and the city’s hallmark Safe-and-Sane fireworks program, which allows residents to enjoy fireworks responsibly at home. The city will open designated fireworks booths from July 1–4, with usage permitted on July 4 between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m., ensuring that the tradition continues safely under local regulations.

Beyond fireworks, families across Orange plan to mark the day with block parties, backyard barbecues, and trips to local parks. Many community organizations and churches host their own picnics, adding to the neighborhood feel that makes the Fourth of July in Orange uniquely warm and close-knit.

While larger regional events across Orange County draw crowds for concerts and aerial shows, the City of Orange prides itself on a more hometown atmosphere—one focused on family, friendship, and civic pride. This year’s celebration underscores the city’s commitment to keeping Independence Day festive yet safe for all who call Orange home.
