Santa Monica’s Ferris Wheel To Light Up Sky With Patriotic Colors:

Pacific Park celebrates 4th of July with patriotic colors and patterns on the world-famous Ferris wheel.

While Santa Monica doesn’t have a fireworks display today, it does have Pacific Park’s Ferris wheel to light up the sky with a red, white, and blue extravaganza.

The Pacific Wheel is the world’s only solar-powered Ferris wheel featuring 160,000 energy-efficient LED lights that present dynamic, custom, computer-generated lighting entertainment each evening.

The eco-friendly, enhanced LED lighting provides 75 percent greater energy savings than most Ferris wheel’s traditional incandescent bulbs.

The Ferris wheel light show begins at sunset (about 8:09 pm) to 12:30 am.

Pacific Park will be open 10 am to 12:30 am. For more information and operating hours, call 310.260.8744, visit pacpark.com.
