Read Full BioThe Pechanga Resort Casino, in Temecula, Southern California, has unveiled plans for a July 4 fireworks display.
Per a release posted on Patch, the resort and casino is set to hold a free, 22-minute fireworks exhibition for its guests and Southern Temecula residents on Friday, July 4, to mark Independence Day. The event will begin at 9 pm.
The Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians operates Pechanga. The casino-resort said its fireworks display would be an “incredible pyrotechnic show.”
It claimed that the display would be viewable from vantage points throughout the South Temecula area.
It also added that the FM station Q103.3 would air a coordinated soundtrack timed to provide an audio backdrop for the fireworks.
Pechanga Fireworks Display to Be ‘Visible from Much of Temecula’
The casino-resort stated that its guests and other fireworks enthusiasts will be permitted to park for free in designated areas.
It also noted that it would not allow day camping, grilling, open flames, glass, alcoholic beverages, illegal substances, sparklers, or other personal fireworks in its viewing zones.
Pechanga operates on the Pechanga Indian Reservation. It opened its doors in June 2002 and claims to have around 19,000 sqm of gaming space.
Pechanga boosted its hotel capacity to over 1,000 rooms in a 2018 renovation. It also features a golf course, a swimming pool complex, a convention center, and a theater.
It also has pro sports interests. The operator signed a deal to become an official partner of the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers at the end of the last decade.
In May this year, Pechanga extended its naming rights deal with San Diego’s premium sports arena until December 2026. The venue will continue to be known as Pechanga Arena San Diego, following an initial deal signed in 2018.
‘Spirit of Freedom’
Pechanga said its free fireworks celebration would “encourage family and friends to share in the spirit of freedom and independence fought for by millions of service men and women, including hundreds of thousands of Native American enlistees.”
In May, the resort-casino announced that its slot machines had awarded their third million-dollar-plus jackpot winner in as many months.
The winning guest is a native of Temecula. The bettor walked away with $1,044,559.11 after their fifth spin of a Dragon Link slot machine, operated by Aristocrat Gaming.
The two previous winners scored jackpots of $1,232,300.19 and $4,178,889.94 in March and April.
