San Pedro’s nearly 75-year-old Fourth of July fireworks show at Cabrillo Beach has been canceled and replaced with a drone show that will take place two days after Independence Day, organizers said on Thursday, June 6.
Unable to find a new producer, the boosters, a nonprofit that supports Cabrillo Beach, instead booked National Experiential, a company that has produced drone shows at the Santa Monica Pier, Hollywood Boulevard and other locations nationwide. Company representatives met with organizers and city officials, including 15th District Councilmember Tim McOsker, to finalize the plans on Thursday, June 6.
“A drone show will be something new and different for us and for the community,” McOsker said in a telephone interview. “As someone who’s been close to environmental issues with AltaSea, for example, this may be something we can do for our pets and for people who are sensitive to noise.The news of the Cabrillo fireworks show’s cancellation came the same week another popular fireworks show in neighboring Long Beach —— was also nixed.
That has caused debates over the pros and cons of fireworks shows, since government officials often touted organized events as one way to disinterest folks in setting off illegal fireworks in neighborhoods. The Port of Los Angeles, meanwhile, is still working to put on a traditional show for Cars and Stripes forever, Sanfield said.
