A Beacon of Light, Sound, and Healing
This Fourth of July weekend, from July 3 to 5, the skies above Malibu are set to transform into a radiant symbol of hope, resilience, and unity from 8 p.m. to midnight each evening. While the event is still pending approval, plans are underway for a moving tribute to renewal in the aftermath of the devastating Palisades Fire and amid ongoing calls for justice and healing.
Renowned artist Yvette Mattern’s Global Rainbow laser light installation is expected to illuminate the night sky, accompanied by the evocative sounds of Coldplay’s ALiEN HiTS/ALiEN RADiO. Together, the powerful fusion of light and sound aims to create an immersive experience that honors the strength and enduring spirit of the Malibu community.
