City trolleys will operate under a modified schedule and will run from 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
The normal trolley schedule will resume on Sunday, July 5.

Beginning at approximately 5 p.m., the area of Heisler Park from the Rock Bench at Myrtle Street to the Rockpile Beach stairs at Jasmine Street will be closed to the public to allow for fireworks preparation.
6:00pm: A flyover by the Condor Squadron, consisting of four AT-6 aircraft World War II trainers will take place along the participating coastal cities of Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Dana Point and San Clemente.
The flyover will begin at 6:10 p.m. in Newport Beach and arrive in San Clemente at 6:25 p.m. where it will flyover the coast, conduct a 360 in the air and conclude at 6:30 p.m.
9:00pm:
The City fireworks show will begin at approximately 9:00 p.m.
The public is expected to observe all City park and beach rules, including:
• No alcohol or smoking on the beaches.
• No tents, canopies, or barbeques are allowed in City beaches or parks.
• No fireworks of any kind are allowed in Laguna Beach.
The Laguna Beach Police and Fire Departments will be strictly enforcing the fireworks prohibition.
• No dogs are allowed on City beaches from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the summer season, which extends from June 15 through September 10.
After the fireworks show, expect heavy traffic as many visitors will be leaving the city via Laguna Canyon Road and Coast Highway.
Members of the Police and Public Works Departments will be conducting increased traffic control to facilitate the flow of vehicles out of town.
As part of this effort, the center lane of Laguna Canyon Road, between Canyon Acres and El Toro Road, will be reversed to add an additional northbound traffic lane.
The cooperation of all residents and visitors is greatly appreciated.
The City of Laguna Beach wants to wish everyone a safe and happy Independence Day.
