Celebrations start Thursday and continue through the Fourth of July holiday on Sunday.
Here is a list of towns that host fireworks displays, parades and other festivities.
Temperatures will soar throughout the North State this week, so planners warn guests to bring plenty of water and sun protection.
Saturday will likely be the hottest day, National Weather Service meteorologist Hannah Chandler-Cooley said from Sacramento.
How hot will it be during celebrations?
Highs hover around 105 degrees in the Sacramento Valley, including Redding, Anderson and Los Molinos.
Highs in Weaverville will be around 100 degrees.
Temperatures to the east in Burney and to the North in Mount Shasta should be in the mid-90s. There could be isolated thunderstorms in the area, so watch for fire danger from lightning strikes.

After trading back twice (Giants, Saints), the Broncos used their No. 98 pick on Wisconsin-Whitewater OL Quinn Meinerz.

Meinerz, aka “The Gut,” is no joke. This Division III player didn’t even have a season last year (it was canceled due to COVID-19), yet he was invited to play in the Senior Bowl.
Meinerz has a long reach and savvy coordination. He’s explosive and able to block defenders with leverage.
Apart from those things, he’s also flexible. Meinerz can be used as center or guard, both positions where Broncos could use some help.
NFL prospects everywhere in title game
No. 1 Alabama and No. 3 Ohio State head into the national title game Monday night with a slew of future NFL players. The matchups will not only determine who wins a championship, but could also influence where some of their stars are drafted.

Former LSU linebacker Patrick Queen is a good example of how a huge performance in a national championship game can help a player boost his NFL draft stock.
Queen was a rising prospect throughout last season and capped it by being the defensive MVP of the College Football Playoff championship victory against Clemson. About three and half months later, Queen was selected in the first round by the Baltimore Ravens at No. 28 overall.
“You do want to look into a player’s ability to play in the clutch and in the big moments because obviously when you’re putting together a football team, an NFL roster, your goal is to be playing in the playoffs,” said Jim Nagy, Senior Bowl executive director and a former NFL scout. “So you want to look at the consequential games. The games that really matter.”
Alabama center Landon Dickerson, who is out with a knee injury, and guard Deonte Brown have already accepted invitations to the Senior Bowl on Jan. 30, Nagy said. Heisman Trophy-winning receiver DeVonta Smith, star running back Najee Harris and tackle Alex Leatherwood have also been invited.
