July 4th Fireworks returned to Redondo Beach

Huge crowds converged at the Redondo Beach Pier for the July 4th Fireworks celebration, where city officials returned to the classic format. 

Last year a drone show replaced Redondo Beach’s July 4th fireworks because of new environmental laws. However, the city voted 4-0 to bring back the traditional show for 2024.

The city contracted with Garden State Fireworks for a barge-based show. It also worked with PI Environmental Consultants to ensure the fireworks were in compliance with the new State Water Board regulations.

The city paid $119,171 for Garden State’s services. In 2024, Redondo paid $30,000 for the drone show.
