4th of July: Here's where you can watch fireworks across Southern California

America’s birthday is days away and there are plenty of places where you can catch fireworks across Southern California from the shore to the Inland Empire.

If you’re planning to spend Independence Day in the inland communities, be sure to stay hydrated. The first heat wave of the season struck over the holiday weekend and those hot temperatures are expected to stick around over the next several days. 

Los Angeles County

A big change will impact fireworks shows at LA County beaches with a new environmental rule in place. The county now requires a permit from the LA Regional Water Quality Control Board. In response, all fireworks shows along the coastline have been canceled.
