I certainly enjoyed seeing Grim's posts around Independence Day, and while I've done a few small town Independence Day events and enjoyed them thoroughly, Los Angeles actually has a pretty good time on the Fourth as well- in fact, it turns out you can see it from space, and it's spectacular:
NASA was kind enough to post this little video on X, which is where I caught it.
We live in the hills, so with the high fire danger we don't launch any fireworks ourselves, but we can go up our back hill and have a nice view out over the city and we watch the neighborhood below put on a show for us all night long. Started before sunset and didn't end until well after midnight. The dog's aren't so keen about it, but we enjoyed it.
For once I had something to be proud about living here in L.A. and had to post this.

My mother’s local fire department posted on Facebook: “We were largely unsuccessful in our public safety messaging leading up to the 4th. Last night resembled a war zone.”
