July 4 Fireworks Show Canceled In Marina Del Rey

MARINA DEL REY, CA — The annual Marina del Rey July 4 fireworks show is canceled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The fireworks show was planned for 9 p.m. on July 4. People from across Southern California often head to the shore during the holiday event to watch or look for views from across Los Angeles.

July 4 will also be different in Santa Monica this year without the annual parade along Main Street and pre-holiday fireworks show. Santa Monica College canceled its "Celebrate America" event, citing the pandemic and health concerns.

Health officials have warned people to avoid large gatherings or in-person events as front line workers continue battling the coronavirus.

The community event at SMC was originally scheduled for June 27 and would have been the 38th year for the community picnic and fireworks show.
