HUNTINGTON BEACH...Every summer, Huntington Beach lights up with more than fireworks — it shines with community spirit. Each year, the City authorizes up to 16 Safe and Sane fireworks booths, giving local nonprofits a unique opportunity to raise funds while supporting one of the community’s most cherished traditions. Applications for the 2026 Fireworks Booth Lottery open March 1 and close at 5:00 p.m. on March 31.

Youth sports leagues, high schools, civic organizations, and the City’s designated foundation partner are encouraged to apply. Selected organizations receive the chance to operate a fireworks booth July 1–4, with proceeds directly benefiting programs that serve Huntington Beach residents — from student athletics to community services and charitable initiatives.

The City Clerk will conduct the official lottery during a City Council meeting, where 15 organizations will be selected at random. The 16th booth is reserved for the City’s foundation partner, which helps support Independence Day festivities.

For many groups, this program is one of the most impactful fundraisers of the year. If your organization is rooted in Huntington Beach and dedicated to serving the community, this is your moment to get involved.
