Some communities opted for quieter, smoke-free drones to light up the night on July, but there will still old-fashioned pyrotechnics aplenty to mark Independence Day in Los Angeles County this year.
What organizers called the West Coast’s largest free Independence Day celebration roared into Gloria Molina Grand Park and include 800 drones flying above The Music Center instead of a fireworks show. The 800 drones were an increase of 300 over last year’s inaugural Independence Day drone show at The Music Center.
Nonetheless, there were pyrotechnics displays galore — as usual, legal and illegal, and law enforcement stepped up patrols to seek out the illicit fireworks.
Fireworks shows included Redondo Beach’s display, which launched the light show from a barge in King Harbor.
A 20-minute display was cut loose at Councilman Bob Blumenfield’s July 4th Extravaganza at Warner Center Park.
