FALLBROOK - The Fallbrook Beautification Alliance will present it's annual lakeside Fourth of July celebration, including a fireworks show, today at the Grand Tradition, 1602 South Mission Road, in Fallbrook.

The event is held as a fundraiser for the nonprofit organization that works throughout the year to beautify Fallbrook through multiple high-profile projects.

Event activities include a rubber raft race where individuals can pay a $10 fee each to participate in a competition across a heart-shaped lake, and a "Quack Up Cup" race where rubber ducks can be sponsored to compete in a special event.

With a true Americana feel, the celebration includes a military salute and patriotic music.
