| What To Do In Los Angeles 4th Of July Weekend |
Beach Bum Bliss
Let’s face it, there’s no better way to celebrate America’s birthday than with some good old-fashioned sun, sand, and surf. LA’s got beaches for days, so grab your shades, slap on some SPF (because skin cancer isn't patriotic), and hit the coast.
- Santa Monica Pier: This classic LA landmark is always a crowd-pleaser. Ride the Ferris wheel, grab some cotton candy (because why not?), or just people-watch.
- Venice Beach: If you're looking for a little more action, Venice Beach is your spot. From bodybuilders to breakdancers, there’s always something to see.
- Malibu: For a more laid-back vibe, head to Malibu. Grab a surfboard, or just relax with a good book.
Fireworks Fanatic
Nothing says Fourth of July like a dazzling display of fireworks. LA doesn’t disappoint. Here are a few spots to catch the show:
 |
- Marina del Rey: This is a classic spot for fireworks. Grab a spot on the beach or a boat for the best views.
- Grand Park: If you're downtown, check out the Grand Park Fourth of July Block Party. It's a free event with live music, food, and of course, fireworks.
- Dodger Stadium: Catch a baseball game and stay for the fireworks. It’s a home run of a plan.
Beyond the Basics
If you’re tired of the same old Fourth of July routine, LA has plenty of other options.
