"Rose Bowl July 4th Fireworks Display" Los Angeles Local Custom Tip by cheap_tourist

Pasadena's Americafest on the 4th of July features a spectacular fireworks display. Some claim (with good reason) that it's the best in the West. Starting at 9:00 PM, you'll be regaled for 35 minutes with all kinds of fireworks effects accompanied by stirring patriotic music. It builds up to a crescendo until the finale when the night sky is turned into day for a few moments by the dazzling pyrotechnics.

Before the fireworks, the people were entertained (in 2004) by a BMX bike stunt show, the Flying Elvi (10 Elvis Presley impersonators parachuting into the stadium and then performing), and several singers and bands. At one point, the people were allowed to occupy the turf. Many spread their blanket on the grass and relaxed while watching the entertainers and, later, the fireworks.

Ticket to this event costs $20.
