Fireworks and a 1950s band will be part of an Independence Day celebration scheduled the evening of July 3 in Moorpark, the City Council has decided.
The event will kick off the city's free summer concert series at Arroyo Vista Park.
Because there is less demand for fireworks displays the night before the Fourth of July, the city will get more bang for its buck, said Christine Adams, director of Moorpark's Community Services Department.
