Happy 4th of July from the Monterey Bay Air Resources District!

As we celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States of America, we honor the spirit of independence while also looking ahead to a cleaner, healthier future for our communities.

This Independence Day, we encourage everyone to celebrate responsibly by helping protect our region’s clean air — consider attending local community fireworks shows, limiting personal fireworks, and reducing smoke where possible.

Cleaner air today helps ensure brighter, healthier tomorrows for all who call Monterey Bay home.

Holiday Closure Reminder:  Our office will be closed on Friday, July 3, 2026, in observance of the July 4th holiday.

Wishing you a safe, festive, and clean-air-friendly holiday!
