2012 OC LAWondering where to see the best fireworks this 4th of July 2012 in Southern California? Well, you’ve arrived at the right place.

I’ve compiled a list of the best free firework shows in Orange County and Los Angeles County.

In most cases the fireworks shows are free for spectators, but in a few places there may be a small charge, I’ll indicate that in the description.

Remember, this year 4th of July is mid-week Wednesday so expect lots of people to stay local to view fireworks.

Finding a place near you should be easy with the list below.

Note that these are not all of the firework shows, there are a few others but those charge a fee and are not in an area that can be viewed easily from a “free” areas. Some like the Queen Mary fireworks show, although a paid event if viewed from the Queen Mary area, is easily veiwable from many parts of the Long Beach harbor.

Have a safe and fun 4th of July!
