Fourth of July 2025 will offer a full day of events in the Santa Clarita Valley, from the annual parade in the morning to fireworks viewing parties in the evening, to celebrate the Declaration of Independence and the 249th birthday of the United States.
This year, the SCV will begin its annual festivities early in the day with the morning Fourth of July parade and related events in Newhall and Valencia, and finishing with the city of Santa Clarita’s fireworks display in the evening at the Valencia Town Center.
Here’s a look at some of the activities and events scheduled for the day:
Santa Clarita Valley Fourth of July Parade
Friday, July 4, 9 a.m.
Old Town Newhall
The Santa Clarita Valley is lucky to have an established, popular Fourth of July Parade held annually in Old Town Newhall.
This year’s event, themed “Home is Where the Hart is … Welcome Hart Park!” honors not only the nation’s independence but also a special milestone for the SCV community, the city of Santa Clarita’s efforts to officially welcome William S. Hart Park as the city’s 40th park.
On Friday, July 4, thousands of spectators and participants will line the streets of Old Town Newhall to cheer on a parade of local dignitaries, officials, businesses, Scout troops, nonprofits, arts organizations, your neighbors and more.
The parade kicks off at 9 a.m. at the Newhall Roundabout, traveling north on Main Street, west on Lyons Avenue onto Orchard Village Road and concluding on Dalbey Drive at Avenida Ignacio.
The SCV Fourth of July Parade is made possible each year because of a dedicated group of nearly 400 community volunteers.

FIREWORKS IN THE SCV
Because of the danger of high fire potential, it is best to leave the fireworks on the shelf and let the professionals handle the pyrotechnics. All personal fireworks, including the “safe and sane” variety, are illegal in the SCV.
