July 3rd Activities
Holiday Weekend Events: In case you haven’t heard, Manteca will celebrate Independence Day this Friday, July 3. Events planned for the day range from a pancake breakfast and parade, to a day full of family activities at Big League Dreams Sports Park, culminating with an aerial fireworks display. The following are the specifics for the July 3 events:
The Kiwanis Club of Manteca’s Independence Day celebration pancake breakfast will be held from 7 to 11 a.m. at David and Sylvia’s Family Dining restaurant at 1020 N. Main St. in the Cardoza Shopping Center. A delicious breakfast of pancakes, eggs, ham, coffee milk and juice will be served. Tickets are $7 for adults (12 years and older) and $4 for children. Drive-through service is also available.
The Sunrise Kiwanis Independence Day parade will start at 10 a.m. The parade starts on North Main Street at Jason Street, and proceeds south on Main Street to Center Street, heading west on Center Street, ending at Library Park. Enjoy your pancake breakfast and then find a nice spot along Main Street to sit and enjoy the parade!
The Independence Day concert will be provided by the Manteca Community Choir at 2 p.m. at the Manteca Presbyterian Church at North and Main streets. The event is free to attend, however donations will be accepted.
Family celebration at Big League Dreams – this event takes place from 4 to 10:30 p.m. at the Big League Dreams Sports Complex on Milo Candini Drive off of Daniels Street. Admission is $2 for adults, $1 for children (13 to 17), and free to those 12 years old and under. There will be entertainment from 4 to 9:45 p.m., not to mention food, games, and 21 vendor booths.
Aerial fireworks display – starting after dusk. The fireworks will be shot off from over the wastewater treatment plant. If you happen to be in the stands at Big League Dreams, you may have the best seat in town!
I realize that a lot of local residents are unhappy about the City's decision to hold the aerial fireworks display on July 3rd instead of July 4th. The date was moved to the 3rd to make the project financially feasible. In these tough budget times, nearly every city in our region has cancelled their fireworks display. In order to save the event here in Manteca, the event was moved to the 3rd in order to avoid having to pay our public safety officers holiday pay. This reduction in cost allowed us to keep the celebration this year.
Hopefully, we can return the event to the 4th in better budget times.
