The annual celebration in honor of Oceanside’s July 3rd birthday and Independence Day will take place this year with modifications. Fireworks will begin at 9:00 p.m. on July 3 at El Corazon. Residents are encouraged to enjoy the show from home, but limited capacity viewing areas will be available near El Corazon to spread out. Rancho Del Oro will be closed from Oceanside Boulevard to Mesa, and Ocean Ranch will be closed from Corporate Center to Rancho Del Oro beginning at 5:00 p.m. that evening. There will be no food trucks or musical entertainment this year, but the fireworks display will be stellar. As a reminder, the personal use of fireworks is illegal in Oceanside.
