Fourth Of July Fireworks Return To Pacific Palisades This Summer

PACIFIC PALISADES, CA — Fourth of July fireworks will return to Pacific Palisades next summer after a year off due to the coronavirus pandemic. Festival organizers announced "The Sparkle Returns," an Independence Day celebration featuring a parade, flyover and fireworks show.

The show will begin at 2 p.m. with a July 4th Parade starting at Via de la Paz, proceeding down Sunset Boulevard to Toyopa Drive. Next, there will be a community-wide flyover featuring fighter planes from World War II, with the celebration culminating in a fireworks show at Palisades Charter High School.

Gates for the firework show will open at 8 p.m., with the show starting at 9 p.m. Advance tickets will be required for entry, and will be available here after June 15.

Tradition will also return with the "Kids on Bikes" contest, which will give a $50 gift card to The Yogurt Shoppe to three winners with the best decorated bikes. More information about the contest is available here.
