After a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19, the City of Chula Vista is pleased to sponsor a spectacular fireworks display on the Fourth of July beginning at dusk (approximately 9 p.m.). The free event will be held at the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center (CVEATC) located at 2800 Olympic Parkway. The Chula Vista 4th Fest event is being provided by the City, CVEATC and Local Media San Diego radio partners. Special simultaneous music will accompany the fireworks on radio station 100.7 BIG FM.
Launched from the athlete training grounds, excellent viewing of the fireworks is available at the CVEATC and nearby Mountain Hawk Park. The CVEATC can accommodate a maximum number of 5,000 attendees and 600 vehicles.
