“The Fourth of July is a special time for our community, not just to mark a moment in history, but to enjoy the simple joy of being together,” said City of Davis Vice Mayor Donna Neville. “Whether you’re attending for the food, music or fireworks, this day is about connection, celebration and the strength we find in each other.”
Please note that this display is the only safe and legal use of fireworks that is allowed by the City of Davis. For public safety, a City ordinance prohibits the use or discharge of fireworks or any substances designed for pyrotechnic display. The sale of any type of fireworks within the City of Davis boundaries is also prohibited.
