The 4th of July Celebration returns to the Ken Dyda Civic Center for an afternoon and evening of patriotic fun in Rancho Palos Verdes. This year's event is especially meaningful as it celebrates both Independence Day and America's 250th Anniversary with live entertainment, family activities, food, and community festivities.

From 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM, guests can enjoy live country music, line dancing, food vendors, a beer and wine booth, inflatables, games, craft vendors, and activities for all ages. The event creates a festive atmosphere where families, friends, and neighbors can gather together and celebrate the holiday.

Throughout the day, attendees can explore vendor booths, enjoy local food and refreshments, and take part in family-friendly attractions. The variety of activities makes it easy for visitors of all ages to find something to enjoy while spending time outdoors in the heart of the community.

One of the highlights of the evening is the patriotic drone light show finale, which will light up the sky and provide a memorable ending to the celebration. The innovative display offers a unique alternative to traditional fireworks while creating an exciting visual experience for attendees.

Held at the Ken Dyda Civic Center, the event continues to be one of Rancho Palos Verdes' signature community celebrations. The combination of live entertainment, food, activities, and community spirit makes it a popular annual tradition for residents and visitors alike.
