The day will be filled with fun activities, including lawn games and live entertainment featuring local bands and performers who will keep the energy high throughout the day.

The schedule of events kicks off at 4:00 p.m. with Mustache Harbor, a Yacht Rock band known for their spot-on renditions of the smoothest music from the 70's and 80's.

Mission encourage attendees to bring lawn chairs or picnic blankets for comfort. Coolers are allowed but will be checked at the gates. Please note that pets (except registered service animals), staked umbrellas or canopies, BBQs, alcohol (per Mission College rules), and weapons are prohibited.

This spectacular event is brought to you by the City of Santa Clara, Mission College, Silicon Valley Power, and Great America, with the fireworks show partially funded by a Santa Clara County Fireworks Grant.

Firework viewing from Mission College’s Central Plaza will feature patriotic music. Free speech areas are designated outside the venue perimeter to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all attendees.
