Find fireworks, food and fun at Saturday’s 40 year celebration of Landers’ Homestead Valley Park (9/5)

After months of preparations, the big day is finally here! Homestead Valley Park and Recreation is celebrating forty years with a huge fireworks extravaganza. On Saturday September 5, 2026, this event takes place at 1501 Belfield Boulevard in Landers and gates open at 5:30 p.m. While admission to the event is free, $10 preferred and disability parking is offered on the grounds of the Park in the large parking lot.

Music starts up at 6;00 p.m. Cat Cheek will sing the National Anthem and at 7, the Marine Color Guard will present the Colors. Mike Henson of $5 Pizza is providing hamburgers and hot dogs with all proceeds going to the Park. Yucca Valley Sunset Rotary is co-hosting and providing carne asada nachos and margaritas. Many other vendors will be there for your enjoyment and entertainment, with proceeds going to the Park as well.

The goal is to raise funds to continue developing the Park for the Landers, Homestead Valley, Johnson Valley and Flamingo Heights communities to bring everyone together for fun and meaningful events. There will be plenty of opportunity to mingle with your favorite neighbors, while the kids can play safely within the completely fenced Park. Enjoy the breeze and the rustle of the leaves on the cottonwood trees, standing on a patch of real grass!

Chris Gubler of Gubler Orchids and President of Homestead Valley Park and Recreation is very involved:

“The fireworks show will start at an unannounced time. That way we get people to come into the park and enjoy the community. It’s about a community celebration. Our goal is to have a great fireworks show, which we’ve already secured thanks to our sponsors.”

Sponsors like Hi-Desert Propane, King of the Hammers and even San Bernardino County donated for the Park and the planned dog park.

“And now we need to make a profit so that we can handle the operating costs throughout the year and also put aside monies to make the final improvements to the dog park, to the playground, those type of things. So really, it’s a fun raiser as well.”

Sounds like a fun time for a great cause, so head on out to Landers this Saturday September 5 and stop by 1501 Belfield Boulevard to enjoy the Festivities.
