On this 16 minute and 18 second video show you will see a spectacular 4th of July Fireworks and Drone Show for America’s 250th Anniversary from the beautiful Pechanga Resort Casino in San Diego:  About 500 Drones were used for this amazing show, with Fireworks set to music that was a live in sync simulcast from 103.3 radio! This was one of the best Fireworks shows in the country! Pechanga Resort Casino’s incredible 4th of July Independence Day celebration event was a 45-minute spectacle that started at approximately 8:45 p.m. It started off with a dazzling drone show:  followed immediately by a 22-minute fireworks extravaganza:  with music where everyone was able to tune to FM 103.3 KTMQ Radio on their cell phones to hear a synchronized soundtrack. Some people used their car or truck radios, or brought their own Boombox portable speakers, or radios to hear a beautiful coordinated soundtrack of the Fireworks.  People were able to use their cell phones to hear all the great music, by scanning a giant sized QR code up in the sky, that set a world record for the largest QR code ever: 

The whole show took place at Pechanga Resort Casino, on 45000 Pechanga Pkwy, in Temecula, CA, that is best viewed from points in South Temecula or from the casino grounds. However, we recommend that at their future shows, you park your car for free at the East Parking Lot, where you get a great overview of their Golf course where the fireworks are shot up from. Below is a photo of Steve & Ken from the roof of the garage, with the ideal spot to watch this amazing Fireworks & Drone show:
The music and designs in the sky, that were used in this fireworks and drone show were awesome, and very patrioticThere was an All-Star list of singers that performed their most patriotic songs for this July 4th show, that started out with Grammy winner and country music superstar: Lee Greenwood, who performed his signature song “God Bless the U.S.A.”, then another multi Grammy winner, Pop music superstar: Katy Perry, who sang her perfect matching 2010 hit song: “Firework”, Then multi Grammy winner and legendary Rock star: Bruce Springsteen, bandleader of the E Street Band, Nicknamed “The Boss”, performed his 1984 hit song: “Born in the U.S.A.”
Earlier in this show there was a great performance by The Black Eyed Peas, by rappers will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo, and singer Fergie, as they sung their #1 chart topping big hit: “I Gotta Feeling.” Everyone was singing “It’s gonna be a good good night !” – from the song: “I Gotta Feeling” – the second single from The Black Eyed Peas, which won the Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, and is the first song in digital history to sell over 7 million digital copies in the United States, and holds the record as the most downloaded song on iTunes of all time! This also makes it the highest selling digital as well as non-charity single in the US ever, making them one of the world’s best-selling groups of all time!
Country Music superstar Martina McBride’s most famous and critically acclaimed signature song is Independence Day. Released in 1994, this became a defining track of her career. This July 4th show was honored to have her perform that song during the fireworks!
Ray Charles is often regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century and was often referred to by contemporaries as “The Genius”. Ray seemed to come back to life with his rendition of “America the Beautiful” which public consensus widely considers the greatest rendition of this beautiful and most patriotic song, and still remains the definitive favorite! Released in 1972 on his album A Message from the People, his soul-stirring interpretation blends gospel, blues, and deep national pride into an iconic masterpiece! 
There was a spectacular, emotional, and breathtaking, closing number to this show, by the legendary singer: Neil  Diamond of “Coming To America” (Also known as “America”). Neil has sold more than 56.5 million records in the US alone, making him one of the best-selling musicians in history!
This was an amazing experience that everyone will always remember, and it was a great way to spend July 4th- especially for the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America!
For the special July 4th celebrations for the United States of America’s 250th Anniversary, we were lucky enough to be positioned in a great area of San Diego, California to experience the July 4th fun and special festivities at 3 different Casinos, all in one day! 
Pechanga Resort Casino is located in the Temecula Valley, which is only about 20 minutes from Escondido: where there is Harrah’s Casino Resort Southern California – A Caesars Entertainment Property, in Valley Center, which is only 5 minutes down the road from Valley View Casino & Hotel also in Valley Center! 

Our big July 4th day got started at Harrah’s Casino Resort SoCal- the home of the award winning 3 pools, that is like an island paradise with Waterfalls, and Hot Tubs, and the world famous Lazy River pool – see above and below photos:  that is 400 feet long, with 30 jets and waterfalls that gave us great massages, the main pool with DJs spinning music: and a saltwater Jacuzzi, and the Swim-up Bar with submerged loungers on the sides of the pool: and the Niagara Falls style waterfall hot tub that you can see 2 people standing in towards the back right side of the photo below: Harrah’s Hotel in San Diego/Valley Center has 3 pools that have been voted as one of the “10 Best Resort Pools in America,” according to USA Today. They actually came in 4th place, with a pool in Iceland voted the best Resort Pool in the world. For July 4th- the pool was packed and sold out- so some people had to wake up at 6:30 am just to wait in line, to make sure they got in when the pool opened up at 8 am! We of course got right in immediately- VIP at 8:30 am, no problem.

Then, we drove 5 minutes down the road for the Award Winning Buffet at Valley View Casino & Hotel for their Live Maine Lobster Buffet, with endless Maine Lobster and over 160 items of gourmet food, and deserts, where they had a special menu for July 4th: Then the next day(July 5th) we indulged ourselves at the award-winning Black & Blue Steakhouse, that has a breathtaking 3,300-gallon saltwater aquarium. We had a great gourmet meal- menu below:  and an amazing decadent dessert- menu below: a mouth watering, gigantic sized, and very rich German Chocolate Cake, as you can see in the above menu, 3rd item from the bottom:  which is so big that very few people can even finish:                                                                                                                              Then we drove only about 20 minutes to Pechanga Resort Casino for the 4th of July Fireworks and Drone Show, with great music and special effects! What a great way to spend one day, especially on July 4th, 2026- and even more especially for the 250th Anniversary of our country!

Finally, Katy Perry’s 2010 hit “Firework is an inspirational dance-pop anthem about self-empowerment, overcoming insecurity, and realizing your inner potential; that she sung during this July 4th fireworks show, and the Lyrics are for you below:

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from cavin’ in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there’s still a chance for you?
‘Cause there’s a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
‘Cause baby, you’re a firework
Come on, show ’em what you’re worth
Make ’em go, “Oh, oh, oh”
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you’re a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make ’em go, “Oh, oh, oh”
You’re gonna leave ’em all in awe, awe, awe
You don’t have to feel like a waste of space
You’re original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it’s time, you’ll know
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
‘Cause baby, you’re a firework
Come on, show ’em what you’re worth
Make ’em go, “Oh, oh, oh”
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you’re a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make ’em go, “Oh, oh, oh”
You’re gonna leave ’em all in awe, awe, awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It’s always been inside of you, you, you
And now it’s time to let it through
‘Cause baby, you’re a firework
Come on, show ’em what you’re worth
Make ’em go, “Oh, oh, oh”
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you’re a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make ’em go, “Oh, oh, oh”
You’re gonna leave ’em all in awe, awe, awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
