Fireworks are illegal in the City of Victorville, and the $1,000 fine will be enforced. 

Residents are encouraged to leave the fireworks to the professionals and join us for our 4th of July Spectacular at the Fairgrounds.

Fireworks use and sales can be reported anonymously at vv.city/reportfireworks. Please include specific details and exact address if possible.  Your reports increase the effectiveness of our enforcement efforts.     

We had an incredible time at our Concert in the Park last Friday! All of the Victorville Sings contestants sounded great. Congratulations to Penelope P. for advancing to the finale, July 18!

We can't wait to continue the fun this Friday with the Santana Tribute band, Smooth Sound of Santana and more performances from our Victorville Sings contestants! The fun starts at 6 p.m. at Hook Park. We'll have games, music, food vendors, a youth Fun Zone, and a beer garden operated by the Kiwanis Club of Victorville.  Proceeds from the beer garden benefit our Recreation Assistance Program (RAP) for Kids.

During the concert, TXT2VOTE for your favorite finalist to be crowned the winner of the competition. The concerts will continue on July 11 with Motown hits by the Blue Breeze Band, and the finale on July 18 will feature Queen tribute band, Queen Legion.

There is a clear bag policy, and all bags and coolers will be checked for outside alcohol. Items not allowed must be left in your vehicle. Concerts will continue July 11 & July 18. For more info visit vv.city/concerts or call (760) 245-5551.

Pet Safety:

Fourth of July and the days leading up to it can be a stressful time for pets. Here are a few safety tips to help keep your furry friends safe! 

• Plan extra exercise for your dog during the day on July 4.
• Provide a safe and familiar environment for sleeping. Try to filter out the sounds outside. Close the windows and curtains to minimize noise and flashing lights. Provide background noise such from a TV, radio, AC, or fans.
• Calming products are worth a try.
• Try desensitizing your dog by playing a recording of firework noise while doing something fun with him, so he learns to associate the noise with good things.
• Update your pet's ID tag and microchip information. List multiple emergency contact numbers so you have a better chance of being reunited with your pet if they get loose. Pets are known to instinctively run far away from noise.

As a reminder, we encourage residents to call our Animal Services to report stray dogs in the City of Victorville rather than bringing them to the shelter. For your personal safety, please don't try to capture stray animals.

For more information or to report/search for a lost dog, visit vv.city/animalcare or call (760) 955-5089.
