Celebrate Independence Day South Bay Style

By Teresa Harnage Leave a Comment

Independence Day South Bay Style

Independence day is just around the corner and the South Bay is a fantastic place for Fourth of July festivities and fireworks. It really is amazing to see the fireworks sparkling off the ocean water in the beach cities. The South Bay also has huge festivals and tons of community events. We love to celebrate, so come and join us for these Fourth of July events!

 

USS Iowa

Celebrate Independence Day aboard the historic battleship the USS Iowa!  You will not find yourself adrift as you enjoy delicious BBQ, wet your pallet in the beer garden, and then shuffle your way through the inflatable obstacle course. Taking a ship tour and learning more about our nation’s history is a very fitting and fun way to celebrate our independence.

When: July 4 – 6, 10:00am – 4:00pm

Where: Battleship USS IOWA BB-61

250 South Harbor Blvd., San Pedro, CA  90731

 

Korean Bell

Independence Day is only one of four days a year that the Korean Bell rings so you don’t want to miss it. This park is on a hill, making it one of the best places in San Pedro to view both the ocean and the fireworks.

Where: Korean Bell of Friendship and Bell Pavilion

3601 S Gaffey Street, San Pedro, CA 90731

 

Cabrillo Beach

Join in the festivities at the 64th Annual John Olguin July 4th Spectacular at Cabrillo Beach. This is one of my favorite South Bay fireworks shows. Coast Guard demonstrations and a fireboat show make this a unique experience. There will be food trucks in the early afternoon.  In addition, fireworks are generally accompanied by a live orchestra!!

When: 2:00pm – Food Truck Festival

9:00pm – Fireworks

Where: Cabrillo Beach

3720 Stephen M White Drive, San Pedro CA 90731

 

Begg Pool

Keep cool in Begg Pool this Fourth of July weekend! Enjoy an afternoon splashing around or playing water balloon games.

When: 10:00am – 2:00pm

Where: Begg Pool

1402 North Peck Avenue, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

 

Seaside Lagoon

This Independence Day celebration includes a little bit of everything: a drum circle, parade, fireworks reflecting off the water, swimming, a science show, a puppet show and a whole lot more!

When: 2:00pm – 9:30pm

Where: Seaside Lagoon

200 Portofino Way, Redondo Beach, CA 90277

 

Ranch Palos Verdes

Don’t miss out on one of the largest Fourth of July festivals in the South Bay. There will be helicopter rides, games, crafts and carnival rides. Try one of the myriad of options at the food court and toast to our independence at the beer and wine garden.

When: 11:00am – 5:00pm

Where: Point Vicente Park/Civic Center

30940 Hawthorne Bl., Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
