San Francisco Fourth of July Fireworks

Independence Day Fireworks

There seems to be a lot of fireworks shows in San Francisco throughout the year including Giants Fireworks Night, at the Dreamforce conference, during Diwali and more. However, there are two days where the fireworks shows are bigger and better than the rest, New Year’s Eve and The Fourth of July. With massive displays all over the bay, there’s plenty of room for everyone to get a chance to enjoy the lights and sounds of celebratory fireworks. 

The San Francisco Fourth of July Fireworks are an amazing thing to experience, especially on a clear night. Thanks to the expert setup from Pyro Spectaculars by Souza, the city offers 2 synchronized fireworks shows from two locations, barges in front of Pier 39 and at the end of Municipal Pier. The locations allow great views of the fireworks all around the city. Aside from the San Francisco Fireworks shows, there are also other great places to view fireworks in the Bay Area from San Jose to Marin County. 

The show begins a little after sundown, which is usually around 9:30PM.
