City plans for many Fourth of July activities
Ontario has a host of activities planned for the Fourth of July, starting with its annual Independence Day Parade at 9 a.m. The Euclid Avenue parade route starts at Fourth Street and heads south to B Street.
At 10:30 a.m., following the parade, the public can head over to the R. Jack Mercer Bandstand for the "Blast at the Bandstand" as well as the All-States Picnic.
The bandstand is at Euclid and C Street.
Between 5 and 9 p.m. the public can head over to Westwind Park not only to grab a good spot for the fireworks show, but to take in some family festivities. Gates open at 5 p.m.
No dogs will be allowed in the park for this event. Live entertainment, food, rides and games (minimal cost) will be available.
Fireworks Spectacular will start at 9 p.m. Westwind Park is located at 2425 Riverside Drive (south of the 60 Freeway, between Archibald and Vineyard).
Free parking and shuttles are available at the Ontario Police Station, 2500 S. Archibald Ave.
Admission is free for all events.
