Celebrating American’s Independence Day at Bakersfield

The Fourth of July is the most beloved national holiday in the US commemorating the birth of American liberation. It is celebrated with merriment ranging from fireworks, parades and concerts to a more casual family get-together and barbecues.

Bakersfield is one city that enjoys a rich heritage and many traditions including the Independence Day celebration. And just like any other year, it is again ready to mark the holiday in a grand fashion for 2019 with a firework show!

July 4th Community Celebration at the Park at River Walk
Wednesday, July 4: 6 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.

An annual Bakersfield tradition, the July 4th Community Celebration returns to the Park at River Walk, featuring a free fireworks show and live entertainment at the Spectrum Amphitheatre. The event will get started at 6:00 PM, with music by Mento Buru starting at 7:00 PM, and the fireworks scheduled for 9:15 PM. Food and beverage will be available for sale by El Churro Loco, Pita Paradise, Barrington’s Jamaican Kitchen, Fuego’s and Carney Kettle Corn.

Planning To Stay Home Instead…?

If you are instead thinking about staying home and hosting an awesome 4th of July party, here are some money saving tips that won’t hurt your budget:

• Themed Decorations – Use inexpensive themed decorations like balloons in patriotic colors of red, white and blue that can easily be bought from dollar stores.
• Food – Make a list of who will be coming to the party and base your food around that to avoid serving more than your guests will eat. If you’re having a backyard barbecue, cooking burgers and steaks for multiple guests can become expensive, so think about alternative options like hot dogs.
• Drinks – The 4th of July is usually a casual affair, so sodas, beer, and lemonade usually work best!
• Entertainment – Fireworks are a popular form of entertainment. Invite all of the neighbors over and combine your fireworks display in a big block-party type atmosphere.

If you are considering moving to Bakersfield, it is one of the best places to live in California. It can make a good “home-base,” in that the cost of living is lower than most other California metropolitan areas, but is centrally located in the State.
