4th of July Celebration Committee: May 2026 Update

Ask not what your July 4ᵗʰ Committee can do for you—ask what you can do to help the Committee make
July 4, 2026 a star-spangled event to remember for you and your family!
The 4ᵗʰ of July Committee has exciting plans for our country’s 250ᵗʰ Independence Day celebration.
Committees are meeting with volunteer chairs to organize a full day of memorable events building on
the long-time July 4ᵗʰ traditions that we are famous for here in the Shores, and incorporating new events as well.
We are asking resident volunteers to serve on one of our committees, whether it’s to be part of
planning the Grand Parade (think music, banners, prizes, fire truck, and maybe even pets!), Games
in the Park, Hot Dog Lunch, or Barbeque at the Bluff. There are many ways you can become involved and everyone is welcome.
We are also asking community members to consider becoming Resident Sponsors for $100. We are
fortunate to have received sponsorship commitments from many local business partners here in the
Shores. However, there is also the opportunity for you and your family to join in the grass-roots efforts to make this a celebration to be remembered.
Resident sponsors will receive name recognition on Niguel Shores website, a commemorative T-Shirt,
social media thank you post, and name inclusion in a full page Thank You in the Seashore News.
Sponsorship forms are available in the Niguel Shores office along with volunteer sign-up sheets.
Next up, join us for our second ORGANIZATIONAL OPEN HOUSE/HAPPY HOUR on Sunday, May 17 at the Clubhouse from 3 to 5 p.m. If you have already volunteered, you will get details on your volunteer
commitment. For those who have not yet volunteered, this will be the perfect time to step up!
Finally, we want to give a SHOUT OUT and huge thanks to those local business partners who have committed their support to this celebration:
