The 4^th of July is a big holiday in Anaheim Hills and is celebrated with several local events.

The morning begins with a 5K/10K run – 3K walk and Health Fair.  The run starts at the Canyon High School track and turns onto Santa Ana Canyon Rd.  This year our entire family, relatives and several friends ran in the 5K/10K.  At the starting area there are several booths, live music, snacks and drinks.  After the run there is a pancake breakfast at the high school cafeteria.

Just after the run there is a dog show held at the high school outdoor stage.  There are several categories and prizes.

Later in the afternoon you can find food and fun at Peralta Park, one of the largest in Anaheim Hills, where there are food and game booths.  If you are still looking for something to do you can then watch the parade that is put on by the local community.  The parade has floats, bands, clubs and all kinds of things to see.

Of course no 4th of July would be complete without a Fireworks show. Anaheim Hills puts on a great fireworks display that takes place at Peralta Park.
