The Mission Hills Town Council puts on an annual 4th of July celebration in Mission Hills with a neighborhood parade that ends up in Pioneer Park.  The party continues with games for the kids and live music throughout the afternoon as families picnic in the grass.  It is a great way to celebrate the holiday with your neighbors.  At night, residents head to the various neighborhood vista points to watch the fireworks light up the bay.  There is also a BBQ Competition during the 4th of July Celebration and Mission Hills Town Council members will get to enjoy free BBQ.  Click here for more details on the BBQ Competition.  Planning is now underway for the 4th of July 2012!
