On April 4, the City of Claremont announced the theme for the 2022 Fourth of July Celebration is “Red White & Blue in 2022.”

The theme was submitted by Vista Del Valle Elementary School fifth grader Steven Flores and was chosen by the Independence Day Committee from entries submitted by K-sixth grade students living or attending school in Claremont.

Steven will receive fireworks tickets, a certificate, a special place in the parade, and will lead the flag salute at the official flag raising ceremony, the city noted in a news release.

Additional information about the 2022 Fourth of July Celebration can be found at the event’s website claremont4th.org. Residents can also contact the Human Services Department at (909) 399-5490 or at specialevents@ci.claremont.ca.us.
