The city of Coronado has announced its plans for celebrating the 4th of July with a parade, fireworks display, live music and more.

The festivities will begin early in the morning on July 4 with the Crown City Classic Run, which will take place along Orange Avenue. The 7 a.m. run is open to those who want to participate in a fun run and bike ride. Following the run, there will be a parade down Orange Avenue, beginning at 10 a.m. The parade will feature elaborately costumed performers and music from the Coronado Community Band.

The highlight of the day will be the fireworks display, which will begin at 9 p.m. The fireworks display will be launched from Stingray Point, which will close the sandy beach area. The area will be closed to the public for the safety of residents and visitors. More information about safety zones will be available soon, according to a city statement.

The free 4th of July transportation service will make it possible for residents to get around town without having to drive. The Metropolitan Transit System will provide free bus service on July 4, operating at usual bus stops. The Free Summer Shuttle service will also be available, offering rides from the northeast corner of Coronado Cays to the southeast corner of Avenue de las Arenas and Silver Strand Boulevard. The Island Express Shuttle also will offer free service, operating from 7:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.
