Talking Independence Day Fireworks Destination?
I usually watch fireworks locally (i.e., Wilson Park in Torrance) but am considering exploring a bit this year. Does anyone have any good "vista points" in LA for fireworks?

Pacific palisades high school, it's off of Sunset kinda near the ocean. Free admittance, bring a picnic and a blanket and sit on the field. Their shows are pretty good!

Plus you will be right underneath the fireworks, so it's not some kind of vantage point.

Queen Mary has them......just arrive early on Shoreline Village (Long Beach) and bring your blankets, lay out and enjoy! Its free and you can always have some beers at the Yard House!

Huntington Beach Pier...they block off the whole street for a fair, at night lay out in the sand and enjoy! Good for the whole family!

San Diego Fair Grounds.....Its their county fair and they have one of the best shows I have ever seen!

From what I heard, Queen Mary will not have the firework show this year. Their finance is in the reds.

I believe that the Home Depot Center will have a large fireworks display.

Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro. Pretty good show, and the only big one in the southbay now that the Queen Mary fireworks have been cancelled.
