After nearly 15 years, the City is proud to reintroduce the Independence Day Spectacular and Firework Show on July 2 at Grant Rea Park.

Don't forget to bring blankets and chairs for comfortable viewing during the 15-minute Firework Spectacular at 9 p.m.

Saturday, July 2, 2022, from 2:00 PM - 9:30 PM

Grant Rea Park, 600 Rea Dr.

Firework Show begins at 9 p.m.

There will also be several musical performances throughout the evening, featuring The Wiseguys Big Band Machine as our headliner! 

FREE Parking Shuttle information can be found here.

We look forward to seeing you there! For information call (323) 887-4540.

Did you know that last year the Montebello Fire Department seized more than half a ton (1200 pounds) of illegal and dangerous fireworks from private residential and business locations all around Montebello? Tragically, our paramedics also treated several severe, major trauma hand injuries as a result of the mishandling of powerful commercial fireworks.  

1. If You See Something, Say Something! Report Illegal Fireworks Anonymously by calling 1-800-222-TIPS
2. Stay for the Show! Let us take care of the pyrotechnics, while you sit back and enjoy the  Independence Day Spectacular and Firework Show (see above for details)
3. Safety is Key! Fireworks, illegal and commercial, can be dangerous and potentially fatal. Be smart, and never risk your safety.

Montebello, let's celebrate safely together. Community safety is greatly improved when we stay alert and look out for one another. Follow us on social media @cityofmontebello for more SEE STAY SAFE advice. 

Come to Montebello's job fair and start your path towards a long-lasting and rewarding career. Same day interviews will be available, so bring your resume and official ID to learn more about the exciting opportunities and competitive benefits we have to offer.
