"Manhattan Beach Holiday
Fireworks...
...The Beach Cities
BEST Community Event"
It's as if the entire town
comes to the pier to see the
show and see their
neighbors...by the time the sun
sets and the fireworks explode
the merriest people in the world
on that day and at that time are
probably the people sitting on
Manhattan Beach Boulevard
wrapped in blankets and gazing
into the night sky.
