This patriotic celebration provides a host of activities throughout the day, all leading up to the dark hour of fireworks time! And not just any fireworks show, but the only sky concert in Napa Valley in a very up-close and intimate setting.
Begin the day in downtown Calistoga for the parade at 11:00 am (route: Cedar Street, Lincoln Avenue, Fair Way). At noon, gates open at the Napa County Fairgrounds to an afternoon of fun and an evening of fireworks. Butler Amusements offers carnival rides for all ages (
see rides list here). Enjoy the sites, sounds, and tastes of the midway offered by food trucks, music, carnival games, the bar, and classic contests. Set up your picnic and viewing spot on the fireworks lawn as early as you like this year. The Grandstands will be open for seating for the fireworks. Gates at High Noon.
You, your family, and your friends can picnic, play giant lawn games, listen to live music, participate in old-fashioned contests, and enjoy reds, whites, brews the bar. Bring your own picnic, enjoy watermelon slices and root beer floats...all in anticipation of the pyrotechnic explosion at dark.
