8th Annual 4th of July Fireworks Festival at Almaden Lake Park

"I’m thrilled to celebrate the birth of our great nation in person with you at the 8th annual 4th of July Fireworks Festival at Almaden Lake Park!  Ever since I took office, I’ve looked forward to enjoying the largest event of the year in District 10 with our residents. This community event couldn’t have come together without the efforts of our neighbors, as well as generous donations from the community and our sponsors. This patriotic and family-friendly event is a fun and exciting way to celebrate the United States of America. Former District 10 resident Craig Cutright with Devastating Pyrotechnics, along with longtime Almaden resident and volunteer extraordinaire Bob Vonderwerth, are once again producing the fantastic fireworks display." - District 10 Councilmember Arjun Batra
