Grand Park, powered by The Music Center, will affirm its status as the park for everyone with the return of Grand Park’s 4th of July Block Party, Downtown L.A.’s largest free Fourth of July celebration.
After a two-year hiatus during the pandemic, Grand Park will welcome Angelenos back to the highly popular in-person event with live entertainment and an unrivaled fireworks show launched from the rooftop of The Music Center’s iconic Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
With gates opening at 4:00 p.m., the nearly six-hour festivity geared for the whole family includes music performances showcasing L.A.’s global and diverse sounds, DJ sets, spoken word recitals, and more on two stages. The ultimate July Fourth neighborhood party will be spread across the six city blocks that comprise Grand Park. Attendees are welcome to bring a picnic or enjoy a variety of delectable food options for purchase from L.A.’s favorite gourmet food trucks, including tacos, barbecue, burgers, vegan, desserts, and more. Alcohol is not permitted and will not be sold at Grand Park. For a complete list of Grand Park’s prohibited items and activities, visit grandparkla.org

Sharing The Front Yard Stage will be some of Flypoet‘s most celebrated spoken word poets.
