This event will pay tribute to the City of Los Angeles, its history, its culture and its people with a multicultural intergenerational celebration which includes a parade, historical reenactments, awards, vendors, booths, and much more. 

This tribute to Los Angeles, its history and its people, seeks to draw from the many and diverse cultures that live in Los Angeles to provide an entertaining day of learning and excitement for the whole family. The July 4th 2006 event will unite the communities, industries, media, government, arts, and others of Los Angeles to celebrate Los Angeles Independence Day, its history and its people and recognize Los Angeles as the "Creative Capital of the World." 

July 4th, 2006 will be the biggest event in downtown Los Angeles. No date, place or event could have more meaning or potential impact. July 4, 2006 will be the the Fort Moore Memorial Committee's 15 Annual Independence Day celebration.

This 15^th annual 4^th of July event pays tribute to the history of Los Angeles, its pioneers, the first Los Angeles Independence Day, historical Fort Moore Pioneer Monument, veterans, and the entire community of the city of Los Angeles.  The annual parade of  re-enactors, bands, and dignitaries will follow an historic path through downtown L.A.  This event is a fun learning experience for the entire family. You can be a part of the “echoes” of Los Angeles history and pay tribute to over 158 years of tradition. 

Set in historic downtown Los Angeles, the event is one to remember with authentic 1847-period costumes, real cannons, muskets, and accurate historic re-enactments.  You do not want to miss this.  It is an event for Los Angeles pride and unity.  Cannon and musket fire, historical re-enactments, tributes to Los Angeles and to veterans, children’s activities, family history search computers, pie-eating contest, entertainment, and much more.   A true 4^th of July event.

About Fort Moore

The Fort itself was constructed on a prominent hill overlooking the pueblo. The material for the fort was obtained from timber in the San Gabriel mountains, with a volunteer Mormon battalion doing most of the work. It was named for Captain Benjamin Davies Moore who was killed at the Battle of San Pasqual in 1846. Today the promontory is occupied by the Los Angeles Unified School District. The memorial is on Hill Street, between Temple and Ord Streets.

See more about the Fort Moore Memorial Committee's July 4th Salute to Los Angeles celebrating Independence Day, Los Angeles history, the people of Los Angeles and cultural diversity. We seek to unite the people in the biggest event in Los Angeles. Anyone interested in participation, pre-July 4th tie in events or promotions  please contact  Carol Autenrieth.
