How to spend 4th of July in Los Angeles
In addition to food, fireworks are one of the favorite things about July 4th. If you live in the Los Angeles area, here are the best places to enjoy them:
Exposition Park
This fireworks show attracts thousands of spectators every year. The event starts at 11 AM and the fireworks at 9:00 pm. The official viewing area is at Christmas Tree Lane, but many people like to watch from the garden of the Natural History Museum. Admission is free, but parking will cost $12.
Griffith Observatory
The Griffith Observatory not only offers exceptional views of the stars, but it is also a fantastic place to watch the fireworks explode over the city. Although the place will be closed, parking and the area will be available. We warn you... parking there is a nightmare, so it's recommended to arrive early.
Grand Park
The Independence Day celebration at Grand Park is one of the best in the area. The event starts at 2:00pm and the fireworks show begins at 9:00 pm. It's worth mentioning that admission is free, but parking is likely to be expensive.
Rose Bowl Stadium
The stadium will host the annual AmericaFest presented by Honda. Some even say this is the biggest fireworks show in all of Southern California! The cost of admission varies depending on where you want to sit. If you don't want to pay for admission, the rooftops in old Pasadena are the perfect location to enjoy this spectacle.
Queen Mary
All aboard to enjoy a great show over the sea! The Queen Mary will host its annual July 4th celebration. It's recommended to purchase tickets in advance to secure your spot.
