The Mission Hills Town Council puts on an annual 4th of July celebration in Mission Hills with a neighborhood parade that ends up in Pioneer Park. The party continues with games for the kids and live music throughout the afternoon as families picnic in the grass. It is a great way to celebrate the holiday with your neighbors. At night, residents head to the various neighborhood vista points to watch the fireworks light up the bay. There is also a BBQ Competition during the 4th of July Celebration and Mission Hills Town Council members will get to enjoy free BBQ. Click
