The Hollywood Bowl hosts LA’s most famous fireworks display, synchronized to music by the LA Philharmonic. However, celebrations aren’t limited to the Bowl: Huntington Beach stages a parade during the day, capped by fireworks, and there’s more patriotic razzle-dazzle at Venice Beach, the Rose Bowl and Disneyland. Note: many fireworks displays take place on the closest weekend to July 4; check Things to Do for schedules.
