Grand Park’s 4th of July Block Party returns, live and in person this summer to the park for everyone with live entertainment and an unrivaled fireworks show launched from the rooftop of The Music Center’s iconic Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. This family-friendly event is a great way to celebrate Independence Day with picnicking, music and dancing, L.A.’s favorite gourmet food trucks and a spectrum of L.A.’s diverse sounds performed on The Backyard Stage – ranging from the Afrobeat, Brazilian, Dub Reggae, Cumbia, Samba, Disco and other deep-rooted Funk music of Afro Funke’, to Ethio Cali’s Golden Age of Ethiopian Jazz and Soul, to QUITAPENAS’ liberating anthems of Angola, Peru, Colombia and Brazil – and some of L.A.’s most popular DJs who will turn up the bass and spin tantalizing beats from The Front Yard Stage. Sharing the Front Yard Stage will be some of Flypoet’s most celebrated spoken word poets. The celebration will end with one of L.A.’s largest firework shows which will be visible throughout surrounding neighborhoods.
