Kaboom! at the Fairplex

The Fairplex in Pomona’s 4th of July fireworks spectacular welcomes back monster trucks, big air freestyle motocross and monster fireworks as the event celebrates 21 years of patriotism, friends, families and fun at Kaboom! The festivities get underway at 8 p.m. and culminate with the fireworks presentation at 9:15 p.m.

Freestyle motocross gets the crowd going with unbelievable highflying stunts performed by a group of riders that includes Billy Walls, Jimmy Fitzpatrick, Scotty Stephens and Grant Teal. Just when the adrenaline begins to settle, the roar of the behemoth trucks fills the stadium and the dust flies in response to the big wheels rolling in. Favorites to fans of the sport are appearances and one-upmanship delivered by Bounty Hunter, Natural High, Jurassic Attack, Unnamed Untamed and Maniac.

Pyro-Spectaculars, the leading fireworks company in the nation, will again choreograph and stage a stunning show to patriotic music befitting the theme “American Journey.” Pyro-Spectaculars has been with KABOOM! since its inception in 1986.
