Morgan Hill’s Freedom Fest & Giant Fireworks Show | 2024

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join Morgan Hill’s Fireworks on the Green on July 4, 2024.

In 2024, your Freedom Fest team, together with our other partners in the City of Morgan Hill and Santa Clara County, has been carefully working over the past months to again ensure that our event is not only exciting and fun, but safe for everyone.

Gates open at 3pm for a full day of food, fun and music. We are excited to have three live acts in our line-up this year. The live music starts with The Hit Men at 5:30pm. They’re funky, soulful and will leave you in a cold sweat. They have been performing together for more than 20 years and their tight-knit group consistently delivers high-energy dance music to audiences at public and private functions throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.

Following The Hit Men, we will conduct our annual, Gizdich Ranch pie eating contest (thank you Gizdich Family!!). If you have someone in your group that would like to challenge themselves by trying to beat eleven others eating a pie without the aid of their hands then be one of the first twelve people to sign up for the contest at our Independence Day Celebrations, Inc. headquarters table (look for the RV!).

Of course, no Fireworks on the Green festival and show would be complete without the Patriotic Singers. Karen Crane and the Patriotic Singers make a return appearance to give everyone a chance to catch a glimpse of the wonderful program they performed the night before, kicking off our Freedom Fest celebration. This tribute will finish with The Wise Girls Trio singing the Star Spangled-Banner.

Then, Soucano takes the stage. A high-energy Latin Rock and Soul band, Soucano’s sound is infectious. Their music includes that of Santana, Malo, El Chicano, Amy Winehouse, Chaka Khan, Average White Band, Doobie Brothers, Bruno Mars, Brand New Heavies and more. With seasoned musicians who have gigged throughout the SF Bay Area and beyond. Soucano’s goal is to get you up and dancing!

Finally, the evening comes to a climax with our fireworks…the largest, land-based fireworks display in Northern California!! Mr. Jim Aker and his Fireworks America team have been partnering with the Morgan Hill Freedom Fest to deliver this jaw-dropping experience for years. You will be impressed!

Hope to see you “on the Green” on July 4th!!
