Here's a rundown of Friday's, July 4 celebrations in LA and much of Southern California, from Ventura County down to the Inland Empire.

Launched in 1904, the first Huntington Beach Fourth of July celebration commemorated the arrival of the first electric passenger train linking the area with Long Beach and Los Angeles, attracting 50,000 people to the celebration.

Recent immigration raids throughout Southern California are prompting some cities to cancel July 4th celebrations. Cancelled events include the Gloria Molina Grand Park’s Summer Block Party in downtown Los Angeles, Whittier’s Freedom Walk, the City of Cudahy’s July 4th celebration, and all scheduled events through July 10 in Bell Gardens.
