This year America's birthday lands on a Friday, making it a guilt
and worry-free day to let loose. With summer in full swing, the South
Bay is notorious for being one of the best spots in the country to enjoy
the holiday. 
This
Friday, the South Bay will party like diligent patriots armed with red
cups and a gaggle of beach cruisers because it's the Fourth of July in
the Beach Cities. The legendary Ironman is on again
for the 37th year, the only time alcohol is accepted on the beach all
year (under heavy police presence, of course). Here's a breakdown of the
week's activities.

Thursday night is shaping up to be a big night in the area, with
many bars expecting huge crowds. Join the cult following of one of the
better 80's bands out there - the Spazmatics will be tearing it up live at
Saint Rocke on Thursday evening. Patrick Molloy's will be hosting a
4th of July style breakfast all weekend beginning at 9:00 a.m., complete
with jello shots and cocktails. Live music starts at 3pm at BALEENkitchen for the 4th
with tunes provided by Mark McMillen & Friends. An early morning
"Make Your Own" Bloody Mary and Mimosa Bar set the table nicley for a
gourmet burger bar availabe from 3-6pm during BALEENkitchen's 4th of
July Celebration. On the premise and hidden just below BALEENkitchen,
nestled against the Portofino Marina, are actual fire pits that can be
frequented on any given weekend but, could also make for an intimate
staging point for the fireworks show that blasts off around 9pm.
Grab a bottle of red, white, or rose and make a date for Zanes in Hermosa Beach - there is no corkage fee which always complements a reasonably-priced tasty dinner. Stay classy with a brunch at the Strand House in Manhattan Beach or relax on the tacky side of King Harbor with a craft beer at Naja's Place.
Follow the craft beer trend during the daytime inside one of the South
Bay's most influential bottle shops at Select Beer Store just off
Pacific Coast Highway in Redondo Beach. Select Beer Store always has a
well curated selection of dafts and bottles, with a solid focus on local
breweries. A stop here druing the daytime can elevate your craft beer
IQ and at the same time act as a nice whistle stop before the bombs
burst in air.
