With the Fourth of July just a few days away and the anticipation of beautiful fireworks and intimate time spent with family and friends building, there is an array of options for a Fourth well spent in the community. When you’re not in the backyard grilling food and sipping lemonade under the fabulous summer heat, consider going to a festive parade! Westlake Village, Ventura, downtown Ojai, Santa Barbara and Newbury Park are all throwing a parade to celebrate our country’s birthday; grab your friends, decorate a Radio Flyer wagon with the kids and get down to one of these parades. Fireworks will be booming in just about every city in the area including Calabasas, Thousand Oaks and Camarillo... just to name a few. Personally, I most look forward to sitting around the fire pit with my family, roasting marshmallows and watching fireworks in T.O. peek over the mountains at my home nestled in Westlake. Happy Birthday, America and Happy Fourth of July, everyone!
