There are plenty of locations and events in L.A. County to take in Fourth of July fireworks and drone light shows, from a historic boat ride to a low-key lookout.

Details: For the best view of the fireworks, find a westward facing spot along Newport Harbor. Popular viewing spots include Perrotti Park, King Park, Queen Anne Square and Fort Adams State Park, where the celebration will include lawn games, a bouncy house and live music.

From Riverfront Park in Springfield to Six Flags New England in Agawam, there is no shortage of opportunities to celebrate the red, white and blue.
