And Orange County is celebrating in style, from Huntington Beach's 122nd annual parade – billed as the largest Independence Day celebration west of the Mississippi – to Irvine's Pacific Symphony concert featuring Air Supply, capping the night with fireworks at the Great Park. In Woodbridge, the community is doubling the occasion, marking its own 50th anniversary alongside the nation's 250th. Cypress is throwing one of its biggest celebrations yet, honoring both America 250 and the city's own 70th birthday....

...This year, Culture OC has moved its full city-by-city listings to a permanent page, making it easier to find – and bookmark for years to come. Every Orange County city in the county is covered, with schedules, locations, costs and information on where personal fireworks are legal and what the fines are if they're not.
