4th of July weekend in Los Angeles is alight with fireworks, fun runs, parades, and more family-friendly events to add to your list for this weekend.

This weekend we celebrate our freedom. Freedom to see the red, white, and boom of 4th of July fireworks, which take place over water, sporting arenas, theme parks, and possibly with drones. Which will you choose? Watch the 4th of July parades marching by, go to carnivals, and more. It's the last weekend of Nike Kids Camp behind CAMP's magic door and the first weekend of Bubble World: An Immersive Experience. The makings are here for a spectacular red, white, and blue weekend. 

For a complete list of all the dazzling 4th of July fireworks in Los Angeles, check out where to see 4th of July fireworks in Los Angeles and the best 4th of July activities that aren't fireworks if you choose to have a more low-key celebration. We wish you a Happy Independence Day, LA!
