ANAHEIM, Calif. (June 27, 2014) – Disneyland Resort guests are invited to show their patriotic Disney Side this summer to celebrate America’s birthday.

On July 1-4 at 9:25 p.m., the skies above Sleeping Beauty Castle will light up with a colorful display of fireworks, choreographed to a striking musical score that celebrates the best of America.

In addition to “Celebrate America!” the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing Band is returning to Disneyland Park and will perform several times throughout the day on Friday, July 4.
