July 4th Street Faire & Fireworks Spectacular
Held yearly on Olympiad Road and in the area adjoining Lake Mission Viejo, this Faire provides a classic Fourth of July celebration for the city of Mission Viejo. Rides and games enhance an exciting carnival atmosphere for all ages.  Local clubs and organizations are invited to set up booths for food, drink, crafts, gifts and games.  These booths act as fund raisers for the participating organizations and help make the Faire more enticing to visitors.  Free entertainment includes music, dance and comedy for the enjoyment of children and adults alike, with performers drawn from local talent as well as professionals from outside the area.  As would be expected for a Fourth of July Faire, the event climaxes at dusk in a spectacular fireworks display.
