With so much happening in the Beach Cities on the Fourth of July, the city of Manhattan Beach astutely saves its booming celebration for the holiday season.
The result is a spectacular spectacle of fireworks off the pier that bring out the entire community. Many people arrive by foot, taking a leisurely stroll down the Strand or streets to arrive at the pier where they set up blankets and beach chairs.
There is a snow park for the little one’s that opens at 4:00 PM. Santa arrives around the same time. Live Music begins at 5:00 PM and the fireworks begin around 6:30.
This is one of the best fireworks displays, anywhere or anytime, in the entire country.
It can be chilly (by Manhattan Beach standards) so visitors are advised to dress to fit the occasion. While shorts and sandals work for most of the year, such wardrobe is not advisable for this evening. This is a magical wintertime event that you will remember for the rest of your life. Don’t miss it.
