Palisades July 4th Celebration

78th Annual Pacific Palisades July 4th Celebration

Music, Entertainment, Kids’ Activities and Drone Show

THIS YEAR’S JULY 4TH COMMUNITY CELEBRATION WILL BE ON THE PAUL REVERE MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPUS AND FIELD.  THE EVENT IS INTENDED FOR PERSONS THAT WERE RESIDENTS OF PACIFIC PALISADES AND IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT STREETS ON JANUARY 7, 2025, AND THEIR DESIGNATED FAMILY AND FRIENDS.  THE EVENT IS NOT OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC because the area residents impacted by the Fire outnumber the capacity of the venue.  Capacity permitting, we may open up ticketing to neighboring communities also impacted by the fires.

Ticket Registration

The event is intended to bring together Palisades residents, their family and friends for an evening of music, entertainment, kids activities and catching up with each other over food and refreshments from more than a dozen food trucks.  

Entry gates will open at 5 PM to pre-issued ticket holders.  NO TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE ON SITE. Music, entertainment and kids activities will begin at 5 PM, with the drone show by Pyro Spectaculars starting at about 9 PM

Is this an “all ages” event?

Absolutely! A parent or legal guardian will need to sign a waiver in order for their child to participate in the kids’ activities area.

How do I get tickets?

There is no charge for tickets to the Palisades 4th Celebration. Tickets will only be available online to area households.  Please note that area residents impacted by the Fire  outnumber the venue’s capacity. THERE WILL BE NO SALES AT THE DOOR.  Pre-issued tickets are required for all attendees, including children, because QR codes (on your phone or printout) will be scanned at the entrance for each attendee, including kids.

Cellular service can be spotty, so paper print-outs or screenshots of your tickets can help avoid check-in issues.  If you ordered, but can't find, your tickets, please check your email's spam folder and look for an email from Ticketleap.  Tickets may not be sold by recipients.

What time does the event begin and end?

Entry gates open at 5 PM. Gates close at 8:50 PM. The drone show will start at approximately 9 PM. The event will be over by 10 PM.
