Recognized as one of the nation’s largest and longest running 4th of July fireworks show, the Rose Bowl presents its 89th annual AmericaFest™ celebration on Saturday, July 4th with a spectacular nighttime display of more than a ton of fireworks.
Thousands of special effects fireworks will be launched from the stadium as part of the Rose Bowl’s daylong family-friendly entertainment extravaganza featuring live motorcycle stunts, a musical performance by the Liverpool Legends, the ultimate Beatles cover band experience celebrating the 50th anniversary of when Elvis and the Beatles first met in Los Angeles, and a screening of Despicable Me 2 presented by Universal Pictures immediately following the fireworks show.
Pyro Spectaculars by Souza has been family operated for five generations and has provided fireworks entertainment at the Rose Bowl Stadium for more than 35 years. Known worldwide for extraordinary firework displays, Pyro Spectaculars produces shows for the NFL Super Bowls, the Olympic Games and major events throughout the world.
AmericaFest™ will feature live motorcycle stunts by TNT and musical performances by both the Liverpool Legends and an Elvis impersonator.
A Family Fun Zone outside the stadium will open at 2 p.m. and offers food vendors, entertainment, crafts, exhibits and inflatable rides for the kids.
