Fourth of July Block Party

Grand Park’s Fourth of July Block Party has quickly become a go-to destination for Angelenos looking to partake in a patriotic birthday bash on the cheap. But this year’s event is going to look pretty different. For starters, it won’t actually be in person. Instead, the Downtown park will host a three-hour livestream that features cooking demos, local comedy ensembles, musical performances and online workshops.

Of course, the big question is: Will there be fireworks? We simply don’t know yet, and even if some pyro is incorporated into the stream, in-person fireworks seem very unlikely right now. Regardless, Grand Park has said that it will be closed to public gatherings and picnics on July 4, 2020 in order to ensure Angelenos’ safety and well-being.
