DOWNTOWN ARCADIA IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION
BRINGS FIREWORKS BACK TO ARCADIA
This Saturday, July 2, 2022 from 5-9:30pm, The Downtown Arcadia Improvement Association will be bringing back fireworks to Arcadia and the Patriotic Festival on First Avenue, south of Huntington Drive.

I have been serving on the DAIA since 2014. I was a founding member and I'm proud that we have been able to bring a celebration of Independence Day back to Arcadia!

It was the dream of former Mayor of Arcadia, Peter Amundson, to bring back fireworks to Arcadia, and due to his hard work, dedication and financial support, we again have fireworks in Arcadia! I have been working tirelessly with Peter on these events since the beginning. We hope all of you come out and enjoy the show!
