Bring on all the things to do in Los Angeles in July with kids. Kicking off with 4th of July fireworks galore, this month never slows down, so you can enjoy every minute of summer fun.

July will be dynamite! This month explodes onto the scene with things to do in Los Angeles, starting with fireworks aplenty as 4th of July events in Los Angeles are aglow. And the 4th of July is only the beginning, as our summer favorites like Griffith Park Shakespeare, Echo Park's Lotus Festival, and Friday nights at the LA Zoo return. From spending the night in LA's most beloved bookstore to immersing yourself in Bubble World, July is bursting with things to do in Los Angeles. 

These are just a few of our favorite things to do in July—there's so much more! As the month heats up, the best splash pads in Los Angeles will help cool the kiddos down. Enjoy free concerts, and free outdoor movies, and soak in summer with our Ultimate Los Angeles Kids Summer Vacation Guide
