The July 4th holiday is here, which means the return of Red, White and BOOM in Carlsbad, and other events.
You can expect celebrations and fireworks in and around Carlsbad, and plenty of private festivities, cookouts, and picnics. And of course beach time! Expect the beaches to be crowded all weekend and parking to be a challenge!
The crowds have picked up now that it’s summer. The restaurants are busy, and public parking at the beaches, and in Carlsbad Village, is harder to find, especially over the weekend.
Red, White and BOOM at Legoland
This popular annual celebration with fireworks is at Carlsbad’s Legoland on July 4th.
There is fun for all ages, with rides, live performances, relay races, and a picnic! Read more about the activities here.
Why not come dressed for the holiday in red, white and blue? The Legoland fireworks can be seen for miles. They are popular everyone at Legoland, but area residents as well, with lots of vantage points (watch for No Parking signage on certain roads).
The Red, White and BOOM celebration begins at 10 am and runs until 9 pm. Fireworks are around 8:30. All festivities for Red, White and BOOM are included in the admission!
