If Karl the Fog allows it, there will be plenty of places to see Fourth of July fireworks throughout the Bay.
San Francisco
Pier 39 and Aquatic Park, beginning at 9:30pm.
Be smart: Pier 39 and Aquatic Park can get a little crowded, so maybe try your luck at Francisco Park for views with fewer people.
- Yes, but: Last year, the fog made it look like we were in an episode of "Stranger Things."
Other shows throughout the Bay
Here's just a sprinkling of some other places to catch the shows. More here.
- Mountain View: Shoreline Amphitheatre. All-day festivities include food, frozen treats and a Motown after-party.
- San Rafael: The Marin County Fair has fireworks that begin at 9:30pm.
- Sausalito: Gabrielson Park at 9pm. Head over early for dinner at a food truck and music by Cap City Band starting at 6:30pm.
