The Rose Bowl Stadium will host a cross-town rivalry soccer match between the LA Galaxy and LAFC on Thursday, July 4th.

Officials stress that if you don’t have tickets to the soccer match on July 4, you should avoid the Rose Bowl area. Surrounding foothills present a significant fire hazard when people congregate to watch fireworks. There are still tickets available to watch the soccer game and fireworks from within the stadium. Fans can purchase tickets for the game between LA Galaxy and LAFC at rosebowlstadium.com.
Rematch
A rematch of last season’s historic July 4th game, that set an MLS attendance record with over 82,000 fans in attendance, will take place just prior to the longest-running fireworks display on the West Coast.
The Pasadena municipal code holds property owners and tenants responsible for permitting the possession, sale, usage, or discharge of fireworks on their property. The ordinance allows for the prosecution of fireworks-related offenses and for the demand of payment for all costs associated with the safe disposal of confiscated fireworks. The City maintains a zero-tolerance enforcement policy for fireworks and Pasadena’s police and firefighters are teaming up for special fireworks enforcement patrols before and during the Fourth of July holiday.
Parking enforcement
Since AmericaFest is not happening for the second year in a row, only ticket holders to the soccer game on July 4 will be permitted to park in the area. Parking will be strictly enforced around the stadium. Parking enforcement officers will ensure that vehicles illegally parked in Pasadena’s hillsides on July 4 are impounded.
Pasadena police and firefighters will also be teaming up for special fireworks enforcement patrols before and during the Fourth of July holiday, and officers will seize fireworks in an effort to protect the public. Residents can call the Pasadena Police Department at (626) 744-4241 to report illegal fireworks. Residents may also use the City Service Center mobile app (Pasadena CSC), available on Google Play and the App Store, to report illegal fireworks.
