This year’s Fourth of July fireworks at Santa Monica College will cost City Hall just under $10,000, an expense officials are expected to approve tonight.

“Celebrate America,” which will be held on Saturday, July 3, has been a tradition in Santa Monica for 21 years. The festivities are scheduled to take place at the SMC campus from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., with the fireworks being shot off starting at 9 p.m.
