Fourth of July Events & Fireworks in Long Beach

The Long Beach waterfront will host spectacular fireworks events for Independence Day, including a free show at the Downtown waterfront on July 4. BOOM!

Fun & Fireworks Fit for a Queen

One of the signature moments during one of the city’s signature events occurs when an awe-inspiring array of fireworks soar over the Queen Mary (1126 Queens Hwy.) on Independence Day evening. The Queen will host its own family-friendly night of music, entertainment, drinks, delicious bites, and fireworks! The event, which begins at 3 pm, features live music, DJs and a kid’s zone. The historic Observation Bar will be open as well as concession stands on the Promenade Deck. Fireworks light up the sky at 9 p.m. For tickets, click here.
