These 28 dazzling photos and videos of last night's fireworks will help ease you back into the work week

Being in Los Angeles on the 4th of July means you get treated to a spectacular array of fireworks shows—both of the official and backyard varieties. Colorful explosions lit up the sky from Marina del Rey to the Rose Bowl and beyond throughout the night. We scoped out Instagrammers who posted up at our favorite spots to watch the glorious citywide celebrations and put together a few of our favorite photos and videos from the night. Happy Birthday, America!
