Healdsburg’s 4th of July Fireworks 2026

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The City of Healdsburg is proud to partner with Healdsburg’s American Legion and the Healdsburg Chamber + Healdsburg Tourism Improvement District for the annual Independence Day fireworks show. Here are important updates for this year’s show:

When are the fireworks?

9:30 p.m., Saturday, July 4, 2026.

Where can I watch the fireworks?

• High School Parking Lot (Parking and Viewing)
• University Avenue, Sanns Lane, and Fitch Mountain School Campus Parking Lot (Viewing Only, Closed to Vehicles)
• Neighboring Streets

(NOTE: Fitch Mountain School Campus will be under construction this summer; no viewing.)

Viewing on the High School sports field is restricted due to the size of the shells used in the show and the required safety clearance zones.  Most of the fireworks will be visible 200 feet in the air and higher so look for places that provide a good view of the sky above the High School.

Will there be street closures around the High School?

Yes. University Avenue from Badger Street to Monte Vista Avenue and Sanns Lane from University Avenue to Harold Lane will be closed for additional spectator viewing and better pedestrian access. No vehicle traffic and only resident parking will be permitted on these streets from 6:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. on July 4th.

What about the danger of fire?

Healdsburg Fire Department will work closely with the Fireworks Operator on planning for this year’s show and will be monitoring weather conditions right up until the start of the show. If weather conditions are not favorable, the show will be rescheduled or cancelled. We’ll post updates on the City’s website (www.healdsburg.gov) and the City’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/cityofhealdsburg) if conditions don’t allow the show to go on as planned.

Can I shoot off my own fireworks?

No. ALL fireworks are illegal in Sonoma, including fireworks identified as “Safe & Sane” and therefore not allowed. We are providing a professional public display for the enjoyment of our community. Anyone found shooting off fireworks will be subject to criminal penalties.

What time will the fireworks start and how long will they last?

We are planning to start at dark at 9:30 p.m. We will fire a test shot approximately 10 minutes before the show to check conditions. The show is expected to last approximately 20 minutes. PLEASE NOTE: Weather conditions may affect the start time of the show.
