Looking for the top 4th of July events in Los Angeles? Cinespia has announced its highly anticipated Independence Day celebration at the historic Hollywood Forever Cemetery. This year, the iconic outdoor movie venue is pairing a giant-screen presentation of Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi blockbuster Jurassic Park with a massive holiday fireworks display.
Your 4th of July Cinespia plan
Attending a Cinespia holiday screening requires a bit of preparation to maximize your experience. Because this is one of the best nights of the summer, having a clear plan will ensure a smooth evening.
- Arrive early for good seating: Gates open at 7:15 PM, and the movie starts at 9:00 PM. Arriving early gives you plenty of time to find a great spot on the lawn, set up your area, and enjoy the pre-show music.
- Pack an outdoor picnic: Guests are welcome to bring their own food, beer, and wine into the venue. You can pack a full dinner or holiday snacks (bringing along green Jell-O is a fun, on-theme option for the night).
- Bring the right gear: Pack blankets, pillows, and low-backed lawn chairs to stay comfortable on the grass throughout the night.
About the Movie
Jurassic Park (1993) is the definitive summer blockbuster. Directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum, this sci-fi thriller follows an expedition of experts fighting for survival at a theme park after cloned dinosaurs break free during a tropical storm. It features groundbreaking special effects and a fast-paced storyline that is perfectly suited for a massive outdoor crowd.
The fireworks finale
You do not need to leave your spot when the movie ends. Immediately following the final credits, Cinespia will host its annual Fourth of July fireworks display. The synchronized light show takes place directly over the cemetery grounds, closing out the holiday evening in style.
