Every year since 1959, hilton hawaiian village fireworks show to celebrate Independence D ay. This year's show will be on July 4th, and it promises to be one of the most spectacular displays yet.

Where to watch the fireworks

Honolulu Police Department personnel will place cones and police tape to keep cars out of the area. The Hilton HGV management team is going to block off the south lawn and shuttle guests to viewing areas. Once you arrive at the seating area, there will be a full service bar and food. Bring your chairs or blankets and enjoy a fun evening with friends and family. Fireworks begin at 9:30 p.m. Please note that alcoholic beverages will not be permitted.

What the fireworks display will look like

The show will take place from 8pm to 9pm, but you can see the fireworks from the beach. There is also a shuttle service that can take you to and from the beach starting at 4pm. It will cost you $12 for all of you to ride. Click here for more information.

Independence Day in Hawaii

There are several ways to enjoy the holiday on the mainland, including with friends and family, or in the cool (and potentially rain-free) confines of an active volcano. Over at Haleakala National Park, tourists can enjoy a 4th of July picnic, cooking over a real fire and enjoying America's founding story as it unfolds. In all, 1,500 people a day will visit the summit between now and July 5th for a lunch feast, snorkeling, walking and astronomy. Many beachgoers will welcome the extended weekend that comes with the 4th of July, and many will heed the advice to stay safe while enjoying the festivities. Even though it's Hawaii, the possibility of a hurricane making landfall on the mainland this week means keeping a close eye on the ocean.

Conclusion

Though there are hundreds of 4th of July events happening around the state, Honolulu is home to some of the best celebrations in the country. Whether you're looking for a short hike or a three-day celebration, you're sure to find something for you. Happy Fourth of July!
