Santa Barbara County will have plenty of entertainment options for visitors and locals to celebrate the Fourth of July this weekend. From fireworks shows to live music and parades, there is sure to be something for everyone.

A complete listing of local Independence Day events is included below.

Aside from the events, there will be more firefighters on duty than usual this weekend because of the holiday and weather forecast.

The Santa Barbara County Fire Department is staffing up, with three additional engines, one extra battalion chief, one extra helicopter and one water tender, said Capt. David Sadecki, a department spokesman.

Warm temperatures, low humidity and 10 to 30 mph winds are expected to last through the weekend. The National Weather Service forecast calls for patchy fog in the mornings but a high of 84 degrees Saturday and clear skies at night, which could mean good fireworks visibility.

All fireworks, including sparklers, are illegal in Santa Barbara County and can start fires or cause injuries, Sadecki said. The department recommends that people instead visit public, professional displays available throughout the county.

Meanwhile, a steady stream of visitors to the gates of the late Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch in Los Olivos is likely to add to the heavy holiday traffic on area roadways. Jackson died July 17 and there had been speculation about a public memorial at the estate this weekend. Officials say that event is now likely to be held Tuesday at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
