This video captures the fireworks on July 4th, 2024 in Rancho Cordova, California.
The City of Rancho Cordova partners with the non-profit Cordova Community Council to put on the largest Independence Day celebration in northern California - including two nights of fireworks, concerts, carnival, a circus, and a massive line up of food trucks. This is also the largest fireworks show in the greater Sacramento region. The event draws 20,000 to 30,000 people annually, and happens in Hagan Park, along the beautiful American River in Rancho Cordova, California.
The fireworks show here are fully choreographed and engineered by pyrotechnicians.
This Independence Day event has been occurring in Hagan Park in Rancho Cordova for at least 39 years. A transformation began in 2000 to convert a community fireworks show into a full festival and multi-day event. The Cordova Community Council took responsibility for the event beginning in 2002, partnered with the new City of Rancho Cordova after the City's incorporation in 2003, and has grown and developed this event ever since, using a combination of professionals and large amounts of volunteer labor to make it a cutting edge event in terms of security and event management.
