Fourth of July Fireworks 2014: When my daughters were young, fireworks were mandatory for the Fourth of July. Many Pasadena and La Canada residents have great vantage points for viewing the Rose Bowl fireworks. The CV show can be enjoyed by some of those in Markridge Estates and other La Crescenta hillside dwellers. The show at Lakeside Golf Club can be enjoyed by many Glendale, Burbank, and Toluca Lake households.
If you don’t live in a prime fireworks-viewing neighborhood or haven’t scored an invite to a private party, don’t worry—there are still plenty of exciting options! Here’s a curated list of the best shows and events happening in and around my favorite Los Angeles neighborhoods.
