Here’s where you can see New Year’s Eve fireworks in L.A.

Marina del Rey rings in the new year with two pyro-filled countdowns. The waterfront city has fireworks at both 9pm and midnight (or a minute before, to be precise). While the fireworks are set off near Burton Chace Park (which hosts a family-friendly “glow party” from 7pm to midnight), all of the restaurants with harbor views should have visibility of the fireworks. Some of the restaurants host ticketed (read: pricey) dinners, so we suggest finding a spot along the water and enjoying the fireworks for free.

Stake out a spot in downtown Long Beach to catch this waterfront fireworks show on New Year’s Eve. Though this year’s full details are still to come, past celebrations have included two chances to see fireworks: an early one at a more family-friendly time of 9pm, followed by another at midnight. You can catch the shows from pretty much anywhere near the water, like Shoreline Park and Village, and you can expect dinner specials and parties at plenty of local businesses nearby (including, yes, the Queen Mary, which has again revived its on-board party—a ticketed masquerade soirée).

Go on rides during the day and stick around for DJ sets and a dazzling midnight fireworks display—all included in the price of admission—at Universal Studios Hollywood’s annual New Year’s Eve celebration. You’ll typically find multiple genre-themed party areas around the park (Universal Plaza, Springfield and near Jurassic World: The Ride) with desserts, beer, wine and champagne available for purchase at each. The EVE programming kicks off at 9pm.

What kid (or adult) doesn’t love to go to Disneyland? And on New Year’s Eve, the theme park stays open late (till 2am) and has even more magical happenings. We all know Disneyland does fireworks nearly nightly, but on New Year’s Eve they have a special showing in honor of the new year: “New Year's Eve Fantasy in the Sky.” Many of the restaurants inside the park also have special events or menus for the holiday, so do your research and get a reservation. You’ll have two chances to watch the fireworks: at 9pm and midnight. Just make sure to book your park reservation ASAP.

Knott’s Berry Farm goes all out during the holiday season, turning the theme park into the punny Knott’s Merry Farm, complete with holiday decorations, music and snow. For New Year’s Eve, they take it a step further with extended hours (till 1am) and a countdown to midnight capped off with fireworks. Look out for live performances throughout the evening, plus swing-dancing lessons and family-friendly comedy.

This Christmas-themed Costa Mesa event has been turning Orange County into a veritable winter wonderland for 11 years now. Expect a Forest of Lights walk-through, snow play, ice tubing and photo ops, a new falling snow area and themed entertainment zones with live music. And on December 31, the event will help ring in the new year with extended hours (till 12:30pm), DJ sets, tunes from tribute band Queen Nation and a fireworks show at midnight.
