Leave Fireworks to the Professionals This Fourth of July


Vista Fire Rescue reminds everyone that all fireworks, including sparklers, are illegal in Vista and across San Diego County. Illegal fireworks can cause serious injuries and start dangerous fires. Instead of lighting fireworks at home, we encourage residents to enjoy the City’s professional fireworks display at Brengle Terrace Park.


Vista’s official Fourth of July celebration will take place at Brengle Terrace Park, with the fireworks show beginning at 9 pm. The park offers plenty of space to spread out, relax, and safely enjoy the display with family and friends. Let’s keep our community safe by celebrating responsibly—leave the fireworks to the pros.
