July 4th Observance-Korean Bell

48th Annual 4th of July Community Observance at the Korean Bell

Annual San Pedro 4th of July Community Observance will be held on Friday, July 4, 2025 at Angels Gate Park, home of the Korean Friendship Bell. The Korean Bell, one of San Pedro’s most enduring landmarks, plays a key role in the ceremonial observance. The ceremony will begin at 10:30 AM.

To conclude the ceremonial portion of the day, the assembled guest speakers and dignitaries will lead the audience in reciting the names of the 13 original American states. As they read the names, the representatives of the San Pedro and Korean Communities will strike a battering ram into the massive bell, ringing once for each state.
