What you need to know
"The anticipation that has taken a year to develop, begins to build to excitement as the sunlight begins to fade. Then, as darkness falls upon the earth, comes the spectacle that has been defining “celebration” for hundreds of years...explosive!...thundering!!. . . FIREWORKS!!!"
So, too does the Morgan Hill Fireworks on the Green inspire joy and symbolize freedom not only to the residents of our community, but to many folks in neighboring communities who travel here to share the celebration of our nation’s birth with us. In 2025, your Freedom Fest team, together with our other partners in the City of Morgan Hill and Santa Clara County, has been carefully working over the past months to again ensure that our event is not only exciting and fun, but safe for everyone.
PLEASE NOTE: ENTRY CLOSES AT 9PM!!
VIP Experience
New for this year is the ability to have access to front row seating in the VIP section. No matter when you arrive (as long as it is before front gates close right before fireworks begin) you will be able to walk right into the front section of the viewing area. Nothing between you and the launch field. Perfect place to sit on your custom Freedom Fest blanket that comes with your VIP purchase. Added bonus, a private bathroom just the VIP section.
Test Shot Experience
Before every professional fireworks show a limited number of shots need to be fired to test the winds and the launch coordinates. We are thrilled to share we have the able to have a limited number of members of the community have the opportunity to launch those test shots. Step into the launch zone which is closed to the public, step up to the plunger and a single individual or a couple can on the count of three announce to the crowd, “Fire in the hole!” And then depress the plunger and launch your shot into the atmosphere. The entire experience will be captured by professional photographers and available to you after the event. Following the launch, make yourself comfortable with your custom Freedom Fest blanket inside the VIP seating area to enjoy the largest fireworks show in Morgan Hill history.
