Ring in NYE With Fireworks in MDR

Marina Del Rey has a surefire way to light up New Year's Eve...Fireworks!
The waterfront community's New Year’s Eve Fireworks Spectacular is a five-minute display that starts at the 30-second countdown to midnight. Although you can see them throughout the Marina, the official word on the two best spots for viewing are Fisherman’s Village (13755 Fiji Way) and Burton Chace Park (13650 Mindanao Way). A lot of area restaurants and hotels also have specials for New Year's Eve, if you're looking to throw down some bucks and make a big night of it.
