2026: Contra Costa County 4th of July Events and Fireworks

Here is a look at July 4 celebrations across Contra Costa County — which include firework shows, parades, music and more.

As a reminder, all fireworks in Contra Costa County are illegal – even “safe and sane” ones – and Contra Costa County Fire Protection District is urging the public to leave the fireworks to the pros, especially with high fire danger as the fields turned brown.
