Mayor's Weekly Message:Celebrate Independence Day, the MoVal Way!

By Ulises Cabrera , Mayor of Moreno Valley
June 22, 2023 at 10:35am. Views: 85

Dear Moreno Valley Residents, 

As a longtime member of the Moreno Valley community, I love how our city comes alive during the Fourth of July. 

This year’s Independence Day promises to be a celebration like no other, with family-friendly events throughout the day. 

Start the day by attending our signature Fourth of July parade at 9:30 a.m. Running northbound on Frederick Street, the parade will feature your favorite community members, local businesses, and Moreno Valley-based organizations.  

Later, I invite you to join us at our annual Fourth of July FunFest, from 2 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. at the Civic Center Amphitheater. Our FunFest will feature delicious food from local vendors, exciting live music and entertainment, a beer garden, a kids’ Fun Zone, and much more. Entry is free from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., and only $3 per person after 4 p.m.

And, of course, there’s the fireworks! I may be biased, but I believe Moreno Valley has THE BEST fireworks show in the Inland Empire. 

But don’t take my word for it. Grab a lawn chair, bring the family, and come find out for yourself. 

Visit moval.org/fourth to learn more, and I’ll see you there!
