Fourth of July evening fun is back in the City of Goleta! Thanks to many generous local sponsors, our community will get to experience its first Fourth of July Drone Light Show. The free event is taking place at the Dos Pueblos High School football stadium, located at 7266 Alameda Avenue in Goleta. Gates open at 6:00 p.m. with food trucks, DJ Darla Bea, line dancing, family-friendly games and activities, a photo booth and more. The approximately 15-minute-long drone show will begin at nightfall, around 8:30 p.m. Check out this video invite in English and Spanish for more information.
Here is some important information to know before you go:
Parking: Parking is available at Dos Pueblos High School (DPHS) on a first-come basis. Carpooling is encouraged. No parking is allowed along Cathedral Oaks Road. Santa Barbara Airbus will be providing free shuttle service from the Costco Parking lot at the Camino Real Marketplace to the front of the High School on Alameda Avenue from 5:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. The shuttles will be available to take people back to the Camino Real Marketplace following the show. There is limited handicapped parking available in the DPHS staff parking lot on Alameda Avenue as well and a roundabout drop-off location. Please note, it is still a bit of a walk to the event.

Much safer, saner, and friendlier than any form of pyrotechnics. Good deal!
I got stumped on this part? “…beach chairs only. No camping chairs …” ; so they’ll have chair inspectors? Well that and I spent way too much time again attempting to resolve my issue with what the definitive difference between the two choices of chairs…
obviously important questions 🤡
Maybe because camping chairs have “pointier” (can’t think of a better description) legs than beach chairs which are usually tubed metal? Probably trying to protect that very expensive turf.
As a side note, let’s go Chargers!
Thank you! I’m totally with you — that jumped out at me. I have no idea what the difference is! I googled it; I think it’s mostly to do with the height of the chair. I do like those low ones, those are beach chairs. Helps to not block other people’s view too.
Folding aluminum “beach” chairs have much shorter “legs” and shorter profile vs “lawn” chairs, which have about the same height as a kitchen chair.
Thank you for this thoughtful, humanitarian, endeavor.
Thank you for considering all the traumatized pets, birds, wildlife, and our environment.
Thank you for this forward step.
Thank you, organizers and sponsors!
Finally, an alternative to fireworks in our area.
Long overdue and much appreciated.
