They believed July 4th called for something more than a lawn and a countdown. Cinespia's answer: Jurassic Park on a massive outdoor screen at LA State Historic Park, followed by fireworks — on the one night a year built for spectacle.
LA State Historic Park is a different venue from Hollywood Forever — wider, more open, sized for a crowd that shows up expecting something. The film was released in 1993 and holds its power in ways that don't make sense for something over thirty years old. When the T-Rex appears, the crowd reacts. When the raptors move through the kitchen, the crowd tenses. Watching it outdoors on July 4, with fireworks at the end — that is a specific kind of night that doesn't happen by accident. Cinespia plans it.
Gates open early for picnicking before dark. Bring a blanket or low-backed chairs; food and drinks are welcome. The park fills up, and the fireworks after the film mean the evening ends on a note that fits the date.
Advance tickets required. Check cinespia.org for gate time and ticket link. July 4, 2026. LA State Historic Park, 1245 N Spring St, Los Angeles.
