The great weather in Los Angeles is one of the reasons we can celebrate Independence Day in such a fantastic way. Warm, beautiful weather is almost predictable, making it perfect for outdoor parties and fireworks displays. There’s no need to closely monitor the weather or plan alternative indoor activities just in case. So you can feel free to invite the whole neighborhood over for carne asada and a barbecue, knowing that the weather is almost always great.
Plus, planning your Independence Day celebration is easy with LA’s many party supply stores — believe it or not, LA has the second-most party supply stores per capita in the world — so grab all your favorite decorations and get ready to rock your party this year.
According to WalletHub, buying supplies for July celebrations is relatively affordable compared to other parts of the U.S. (Of course, your wallet might not feel that way when you get to the register.) Plus, Los Angeles residents get so excited about Independence Day celebrations that they Google more Fourth of July-related terms than people in most other cities.
