Where to Watch Fireworks This 4th of July

An array of celebrations are planned in nearby Hollywood, Studio City, Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades and Burbank for America's 235th birthday.

Since fireworks are illegal in the city of West Hollywood, locals will have to go elsewhere to take in the July 4th spectacle Monday. But there's no need to go too far. Here's a list we have rounded up of fireworks shows nearby.
