FoodieLand

Taking the place of the former Americafest and soccer matches that have historically taken up residence at the Rose Bowl Stadium on the Fourth of July, this family-friendly food festival will once again fill the field with over 250 diverse vendors selling everything from deep-fried giant squid to fried-chicken sandwiches to seafood boils to ube cinnamon rolls over the holiday weekend. If you go on Friday the 4th, you’ll have a front-row seat to the stadium’s drone show, which has taken the place of fireworks.
