La Costa Resort July 4th Fireworks – 2014

by

The Fourth of July is a big holiday and La Costa Resort loves to celebrate!  This year there is a full line up of activities for little ones and adults alike!  To start the day at 11 a.m. you may try the fun daily craft (patriotic theme) at the Athletic Club Patio.  Have a little lunch and then stop by the Coastal Events Center for some fun cookie decorating.  To cool off don’t miss the water balloon toss at the Sport Court, or the watersides.   My son’s favorite is the s’mores roasting over the open fire, but I assume pretty much any child is the same. Chocolate, graham crackers then add a toasted marshmallow who says no to that?

Adults can enjoy live music by Art Alexakis from EVERCLEAR!  Yes, you read that right, Everclear!  Incase that wasn’t clear, that is where I will be, watching Art Alexakis from Everclear.

The evening comes to a close at 9 p.m. with the annual fireworks celebration, you will NOT want to miss the 20-minute fireworks extravaganza!

If you live in the area like us, please remember to keep your animals indoors.
