Fourth of July Fireworks Show in Pleasant Hill

This crowd-pleaser is an exciting treat for the whole family. Make yourself comfortable in the grass at the soccer field and be prepared for a dazzling presentation of fireworks and live music. It all takes place right here in Pleasant Hill at College Park High School, located on Viking Drive just west of Contra Costa Blvd (between Morello & Contra Costa Blvd).

This pyrotechnic dazzler is sure to please. In our opinion it is the best fireworks display in the county. Treat yourself and your whole family to this sensational salute to our country's birthday.

Handicap parking is available in front of the high school on Viking Drive. General parking is close by at the Pleasant Hill Community Center on Civic Drive. Additional parking is available in the north lot (off Golf Club Road) at Diablo Valley College. There is no parking available in the DVC south lot, off Viking Drive.
