 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular

Fireworks will be held at Lake Almanor, launched from a barge for all to see.  The show begins after sundown. The 4th of July Fireworks show over Lake Almanor is a 25+ year tradition. The show is shot from a barge off of the tip of the Peninsula and brings a spectacular end to a day of celebrations. The show begins after sunset and is best seen in a boat near the Peninsula or from the west shore of the lake. There are many, more distant, viewing spots along the East Shore. Generous donations keep this wonderful tradition alive year after year.
