Locals seeking out pop-its, sparklers and snakes for their Fourth of July festivities marked their calendars for Wednesday the day fireworks stands in Costa Mesa were officially open for business.
Newport Beach residents Colleen and Buck Johns were among a small group of customers who turned out for the 10 a.m. opening of a stand on 17th Street, operated by supporters of the Costa Mesa High School cheerleading teams, who will receive a portion of the proceeds for their labor.
“We have a grandson who lives in Costa Mesa, so I’m going to meet up with him today and give him some sparklers,” said Colleen Johns, whose birthday happens to fall on July 4.

A mandate requiring facial coverings for all who enter Costa Mesa in place for more than a year and fuel for frequent debates between pandemic rule followers and anti-maskers was repealed Tuesday in favor of less strict state guidelines.
City Manager Lori Ann Farrell Harrison imposed the measure in April 2020 to help curtail the spread of the coronavirus after declaring a local state of emergency that March. In a social media campaign last summer, signs warning “No Mask = $100 Fine” inspired some residents to post bare-faces photos in a dare to local police.
