Victorville Fireworks Celebration Moving From Fairgrounds To Silverado High School Hawk Stadium

VICTORVILLE, Calif. (VVNG.com) — One of Victorville’s longest-running Independence Day traditions is changing locations this year as the city’s annual fireworks celebration moves from the San Bernardino County Fairgrounds to Hawk Stadium at Silverado High School.

The event will be located at 14048 Cobalt Road and will feature live entertainment, food vendors, giveaways, and a fireworks show.

According to information provided by City of Victorville Public Information Officer Sue Jones, the City is introducing the new venue as part of an expanded community celebration.

“In celebration of America’s 250th Anniversary, we are trying something new this year and moving our fireworks show to Silverado High School,” Jones said.

The celebration will feature the Fast Times Band Ultimate 80’s performing live in concert, food vendors, a performance by the Silverado High School Cheer Team, giveaways, and more.

“We look forward to hosting the community for this milestone event in our country’s history,” Jones added. “The City of Victorville is grateful to Silverado High School for opening their stadium to us.”

Tickets are $2 and went on sale Monday, June 15, through the City of Victorville’s website. The parking lot will open at 5:30 p.m., stadium gates will open at 6 p.m., and festivities will begin at 7 p.m.

Attendees are encouraged to bring clear bags. All bags will be subject to inspection, and alcohol is prohibited on campus.

The move marks a notable change for many local families who have long celebrated Independence Day at the San Bernardino County Fairgrounds.

For many Victorville residents, the annual fireworks display has been more than just a community event. Families living in neighborhoods surrounding the fairgrounds have traditionally watched the show from their yards, while others gathered along Seventh Street and the surrounding area to enjoy the fireworks with friends and relatives.

The relocation marks the end of a tradition that many longtime residents have associated with Independence Day celebrations in Victorville for generations.

The family-friendly celebration is expected to bring together residents from across the High Desert for an evening of live entertainment, community spirit, and fireworks commemorating the nation’s 250th anniversary.
