Celebrate at the Reagan Library
Celebrate Independence Day in a truly patriotic setting at the Ronald Reagan Library on July 4.
This year’s festivities commemorate the 250th anniversary of the birth of the United States and the signing of the Declaration of Independence, bringing history and celebration together for all ages.
Guests can enjoy live performances by the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department Band and country artist Justin Honsinger, plus special appearances from Iwo Jima re-enactors and presidential look-alikes that add a unique historical touch to the day.
Families will find plenty to enjoy with face painting, crafts, lawn games, carnival-style picnic games, and Presidential Bingo with prizes.
At 12:00 PM, don’t miss the special America 250 program featuring keynote speaker Medal of Honor Recipient General Patrick Henry Brady.
All outdoor activities are free to attend.
Regular admission applies to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Museum, Air Force One Pavilion, and the America 250 exhibit.
After the Fourth of July Celebration at the Library, head down the hill and catch the fireworks at Santa Susana Park.
Insider Tips for a Smooth Experience
Take the Train: Coming from out of town? The Metrolink station is just across the street from the park. Avoid traffic and skip the parking stress by riding the train.
Carpool & Come Early: Parking is limited and Stearns Street (between Cochran and LA Ave) will be closed for the event.
Stake Out a Spot: Arrive early to claim a prime viewing area—shady spots and central locations go fast!
Pack Smart: Bring folding chairs, picnic blankets, sunscreen, and plenty of water. You can also grab snacks and drinks from local vendors at the park.
Leave Room for Fun: Don’t forget some cash for shopping the vendor booths or grabbing a bite to eat.
Get ready for a full day of star-spangled fun in Simi Valley. From patriotic games to fireworks that light up the sky, this is a Fourth of July celebration you won’t want to miss!
