After a quick boat ride across the lake, this video shows some of the highlights of the Fireworks at Big Bear Lake CA.

Big Bear Lake has a great fireworks display every fourth of July. The fireworks are shot off a barge on the lake and can be seen across the entire valley.

The event is a community effort with many local agencies working together for the benefit of all. The City of Big Bear Lake, Chamber of Commerce, Big Bear Lake Resort Association and the Rotarty Club are among those involved.

We have enjoyed watching the fireworks from several vantage points:

1. If you can get out in a boat on the lake, it’s the best! Get your spot early and get the barbeques going. Be prepared for lots of boat traffic at the end.

2. Swim Beach- We’ve gone to swim beach with several families and spent the day. The area doesn’t get crowded until around 7:00 PM, plenty of time to eat and enjoy the lake. Be patient at the end, there will be a lot of traffic leaving at once.

3.  North Shore near the Observatory- This area won’t be as crowed. Bring your radio, tune it to KBHR 93.3 and enjoy the evening on the beach, across the lake. Traffic can get jammed after the fireworks are over.

4.  Stanfield Cutoff- Park your RV, car or just your chair on the north west side of Stanfield Cutoff. Line up along the road and the shore. You will have an unobstructed view of a fantastic show!
