New Year’s Eve Fireworks Show at the pier at Marina Del Rey
Marina Del Rey is having its annual fireworks show which is totally free. You can go to Chace Burton Park or to the Fishermen’s Village and grab your spot and enjoy the show over the marina water, which is a delightful experience. We recommend bringing a blanket and maybe some coffee or hot cocoa, and make sure you get there a decent amount in advance to secure parking and your viewing spot.
