For the first time in the park’s 10-year history, an incredible drone show—not traditional fireworks—will light up the night sky. With 500 remote-controlled drones, the high-tech display will form larger-than-life representations flying above Jerry Moss Plaza at The Music Center, located directly across the street from the park. The dynamic 12-minute drone show will be orchestrated to a special playlist of Hip-Hop music curated as a tribute to the revolutionary music genre’s 50th anniversary and its powerful influence on the park’s many community partners. The drone show will cap the free family-friendly, high-energy block party with live music, food, an Augmented Reality digital playground, and more.

 

L.A.’s ultimate July 4th neighborhood party will be spread across the six city blocks that comprise Gloria Molina Grand Park,  from Grand Avenue to Los Angeles Street and from Temple Street to 2nd Street.

A Fantastic Woman (Una mujer fantástica)

Winner of the Foreign Language Film Oscar at the 90th Academy Awards ceremony— Sebastián Lelio’s sensitive, magical realist story of young transgender woman Marina offers so much more than a compelling narrative, a stunning lead performance, and sumptuous visuals. Lelio’s goal to “make a film that hopefully was as complex and beautiful as its main character” also mobilized the transgender rights movement in Chile, resulting in the passing of a landmark gender identity law.
