City Hall will be closed on July 4, 2025, in observance of Independence Day, but parks will be open for their regular hours. (Please note that the Rancho Caninos Dog Park will be closed all day due to the City’s Fourth of July Celebration at the Ken Dyda Civic Center.)
There will be no trash/recycling collection on July 4, and a one-day for the Friday route only. There will be no street sweeping on July 4, and streets swept on the Friday route will be swept on Wednesday, July 2.
Please obtain a Special Construction Permit by July 2 if you're planning to do construction work on the holiday. Permit details and application requirements (PDF) are available on the City website.
Please note that minor repairs, maintenance and landscaping activities (i.e., work that does not otherwise require a building permit) are not prohibited on legal holidays. For additional information, please contact the Community Development Department at 310-544-5228 or planning@rpvca.gov.
Finally, fireworks are illegal on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Fines for illegal fireworks in RPV are $1,000 for a first violation, $5,000 for a second, and $7,500 for third and subsequent violations. Fireworks pose a significant fire danger, cause injuries, scare pets and may trigger a response in those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Respect your neighbors and obey the law. DO NOT light fireworks. Call the Lomita Sheriff’s Station to report fireworks at 310-539-1661.
Enjoy the holiday safely; come celebrate with family and friends at the City’s Fourth of July Celebration at the Ken Dyda Civic Center featuring a patriotic drone light show at 8:45 p.m.
Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!
