The Fourth of July is right around the corner, and Disneyland Resort is gearing up to celebrate Independence Day with fireworks, concerts, and more! Here’s a look at some of the star-spangled highlights we’ve got planned for next week:

  • Disneyland park – “Disney’s Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky” rockets into the air above Sleeping Beauty Castle. This special, fireworks spectacular will be presented on four different nights, July 1 – 4 at 9:25 p.m.

  • 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing Band – This outstanding military band from Miramar, California, is returning to Disneyland park for another year! The band will be performing several times throughout the day on Friday, July 4.
    • Catch the band in a brief cavalcade along the parade route at 3:30 p.m., just ahead of the “Frozen” pre-parade and the first performance of Mickey’s Soundsational Parade.

    • The band will help retire the colors at the Disneyland park flag retreat ceremony in Town Square at 5:30 p.m.

    • Immediately following the flag retreat, at 5:45 p.m., the full band will perform along the parade route, all the way back to “it’s a small world.”

    • Finally, you can enjoy the full band in concert on the stage of the Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree, starting at 7:15 p.m.

  • Disney California Adventure park – On July 4, a special patriotic pre-show will be presented at the start of both the 9 p.m. and 10:15 p.m. performances of “World of Color.”

  • “Glow With the Show” – Don’t forget to bring along your “Glow with the Show” Ears (or pick up a pair)! Those interactive, light-up Ear Hats magically become part of the fireworks at Disneyland park and “World of Color” and its patriotic pre-show at Disney California Adventure park.

To help you get in the spirit, here’s a look at last year’s production of “Disney’s Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky.” Who’s ready for some red, white, and blue?!

  • First year we haven’t had passes. Sad to miss it. Sounds like a wonderful celebration!

  • I really enjoyed the pre-show for World of Color last year so I can’t wait to catch it again. Also, thank you for opening up the military passes for the 4th this year as I am excited to celebrate the holiday at the park with my brother-in-law who is in the Navy and with the rest of my family.

  • Happy Birthday Gregory! My niece is July 6th so she tells everyone all the fireworks are for her. I would love to be in DLR for these fireworks!

  • Sounds good! And on top of all that, Alice in Wonderland and Space Mountain will be reopening on July 4!

  • My birthday is on July 4th.
