Fourth of July

Each year the local Fourth of July fireworks display is set off from Mira Mesa High School fields and enjoyed by many who gather at locations such as Mira Mesa Community Park or at Miramar Lake in Scripps Ranch. Last year's fireworks display cost $19,600, an amount raised by the Mira Mesa Community Fourth of July Committee and its sister nonprofit group, Scripps Mesa Fireworks, Inc., completely through donations and fundraisers. The City now charges a fee of approximately $3,500 and rising. The Fourth of July Committee must also raise approximately $4,000 to cover the annual expenses of hosting the Mira Mesa Fourth of July parade.
