Join Ventura Harbor Village as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States with two afternoons of live music, chalk art, waterfront dining, shopping, and coastal fun. Enjoy 250 minutes of live music each day from Noon-4:10 PM on July 3 & 4, then spend the rest of your holiday exploring everything the Harbor has to offer.

As part of a weeklong community-wide celebration happening throughout Ventura, Friday, July 3, brings a special stop to Ventura Harbor Village. In partnership with the City of Ventura’s America 250 festivities, guests can enjoy a patriotic photo backdrop, fun giveaways, and festive activities alongside the afternoon’s live music before continuing the celebration across the city all week long.

Whether you’re dining on a waterfront patio, browsing coastal boutiques, heading out on a harbor adventure, or simply soaking in the seaside atmosphere, Ventura Harbor Village is the perfect place to celebrate summer and America’s 250th.

Please note: There are no fireworks at Ventura Harbor Village.
