Celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary with a Spectacular Fireworks Show at Crowley Lake

Join us in celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary at Crowley Lake for the Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular on Saturday, July 4, 2026.

California continues to celebrate 175 years of statehood through summer 2026 as the United States prepares to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 2026. The journey toward this historic milestone is an opportunity to pause and reflect on our nation’s past, honor the contributions of all Americans, and look ahead toward the future we want to create for the next generation and beyond.

The Independence Day fireworks show promises to be a bright and striking display of color in the Eastern Sierra night sky. This year’s custom designed “Sky Concert” has been super-sized with 250 more fireworks than last year worthy of America’s Semiquincentennial. Over 960 shells will be propelled into the Eastern Sierra sky for a mesmerizing 17 minutes. Beginning at 9:15 p.m. (weather permitting), don’t miss the largest fireworks show in the Eastern Sierra.

Admission to the Fourth of July Fireworks Show is once again only $30.00 per vehicle (excludes camping), and $5.00 for walk-ins (children 12 & under are FREE). The show will also simulcast live on KMMT 106.5. Please tune in or stream online and enjoy!

The Town of Mammoth Lakes in partnership with Crowley Lake Fish Camp is proud to present the Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular at Crowley Lake and would like to acknowledge L.D.C. for their generous donation to this generational and long-standing event at Crowley Lake. Celebrate Independence Day with live music before the spectacular fireworks show on the Crowley Lake lawn from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. compliments of the “Felt Cutouts.”

The entire lake shore at the South Landing of Crowley Lake will be open for camping, pending the height of the lake and available beach space. The fee for camping is $30 per night, based on the day of entry, plus $30 for the fireworks show. The North Landing/North Shore of Crowley Lake will be closed beginning at 12:00pm on Friday, July 3, 2026 through Sunday, July 5, 2026.
