The show will not go on in La Jolla this Fourth of July.
After state and city officials told organizers this week that the planned fireworks display would not be allowed over La Jolla Cove for lack of a needed permit, Deborah Marengo, director of the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation, told the
La Jolla Light on July 3 that the show is off because “we were unable to secure a location.”
Organizers had said at a July 1 news conference that they were hoping to move the show to another site, possibly La Jolla Shores.
Asked about the possibility of any alternative form of celebration, Marengo said, “I can only speak to the fireworks, and there are none.”
