Do you love America? I know, stupid question: America's the best! We have great food and drink, a Constitutionally-enshrined Right To Party, a semi-functioning democracy, and we're the birthplace of word-changing heroes like JFK and Ron Jeremy. Best of all, we're all about freedom, so whether you decide to barbecue, booze, or beach it this 4th of July weekend, you're celebrating America by choosing your own fun. And no matter what you feel like doing, we've got you covered on everything happening in and around L.A. with the official GofG L.A. 2011 July 4th Weekend Party Guide!

All the details on the below events and more can be found on our Calendar page.
