They shoot it from a barge in the middle of the harbor, so the burst goes up over the masts and comes straight back down in the water. Every dock and lawn around the basin turns into a front row.

What it was like
There is a reason the people who grew up around this harbor never drive inland for the Fourth. They know the trick: the county shoots the fireworks from a barge in the middle of the Main Channel, so the whole basin becomes the show — the bursts go up over the masts and come straight back down in the water, and the reflection doubles everything.
It is one of the largest fireworks displays in Los Angeles County, and the regulars have their spots. Burton Chace Park is the gathering point, with waterfront lawn along the channel, clean sightlines, and music synced to the show. Fisherman's Village, Mother's Beach, the waterfront restaurants, and anyone lucky enough to be on a boat all get their own version of the same twenty minutes. Families stake out the grass by late afternoon; the Westside drifts in as the light goes.
Saturday, July 4, 2026, 9pm. Burton W. Chace Park, 13650 Mindanao Way, Marina del Rey. Free. Parking fills early — come for the afternoon, bring a blanket and a layer for after dark, and put the water between you and the barge.
