HELP LIGHT UP THE SKY this 4th of July! 🎆 Benicia, we’re kicking off fundraising for the 2026 4th of July Fireworks Show, and this year is extra special. As America celebrates the 250th Anniversary of Independence, the City of Benicia and Benicia Main Street are partnering to bring you two days of cherished community traditions on July 3rd & 4th.
💥 July 3rd: Benicia Main Street will once again produce the beloved Torchlight Parade, continuing a long-standing tradition that brings our community together.
🎇 July 4th: With your support, we’ll light up the waterfront with a spectacular Fireworks show for residents and visitors to enjoy.
But we can’t do it without you.
We’re aiming to raise $50,000 to fund the fireworks display & essential services like cleanup, portable, restrooms, and equipment rentals. Your support will help keep this signature Benicia tradition alive—this year and for future generations.
