UPDATE: This list is for 2012!  Follow this link for all of the South Bay celebrations going on for Friday, July 4, 2014.

This year, we’ll celebrate 236 years of independence on Wednesday, July 4. In typical fashion there will be plenty of smoky cookouts, fanfare worthy parades, and firework shows that will oooh and ahhh the crowds.

While there are still a few shows missing (City of Torrance, please come back!), thankfully a show has returned (Marina Del Rey).

Read on for details on South Bay fireworks and Fourth of July celebrations, listed from north to south.
