Southern California theme parks Knott’s Berry Farm and Six Flags Magic Mountain will mark Independence Day 2025 with fireworks shows and a full day of themed entertainment for guests of all ages.

At Knott’s Berry Farm, the celebration begins early with Ghost Town Alive!, a summer-long interactive experience where visitors step into a living western town and take part in a new storyline. As the sun sets, Knott’s Summer Nights takes over, featuring live music, family games, and food offerings. The evening concludes with a Fourth of July fireworks display at 9:30 p.m.

Over at Six Flags Magic Mountain, guests can immerse themselves in DC™ Heroes and Villains Fest, where starting at 5:00 p.m., guests choose to side with heroes or villains in themed zones filled with music, dancing, and character encounters. The nighttime Star-Spangled Nights fireworks spectacular, presented by M&M’s®, will light up the sky at 9:15 p.m. on both July 4 and July 5.

Admission for both parks is available online, with a limited-time offer for unlimited Coca-Cola® beverage refills when purchasing a Season Pass or single-day ticket. The offer is valid through July 10.
