Post a CommentSounds like Orange county is in for a big bang.
Great guide!
Wonderful article Cynthia!! :)
July 4 in Orange county sounds great. :-)
Love all those spots....should be a fun time.
Sounds like it will be exciting. Good job on this Cynthia. We always go to the same place down by the River, looking up over Lodi Lake. Check out my 'Under the Bursts" article, it's a blast on the 4th.
It's nice to see the events in Orange County, CA - because in Orange County, NY - they have canceled so many of our 4th celebrations. Sad but true! cheers :)
Sounds fantastic.
Dana Point would be a nice place to watch the fireworks.
