Celebrating the Fourth

Disneyland® Resort
From July 1-4, you can experience special nighttime spectaculars celebrating America. At Disney California Adventure™ park, be sure to check out the all-new Independence Day “World of Color” pre-show which will run prior to each showing of “World of Color” and will combine video, water effects, lighting and fireworks to create a spectacular celebration of American independence.

At the Disneyland® park, guests can commemorate Independence Day with “Disney’s Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky.” This special fireworks show combines patriotic music with bursts of red, white and blue to celebrate the land of the free and the home of the brave.
