Any good suggestions for watching fireworks on July 4th. For the past 3-4 years we have been going to San Jose Downtown area to watch fireworks. Its been good with lot of stalls, music, and people. They have good transportation options too all of which are free on July 4. See http://www.ehclifebuilders.org/af/july4.html for more details.
But this year its time to seek some other city just for a change. We have been to San Francisco also once but that becomes too far and too much time is spent in travelling.
Any local cities here which have good fireworks and activities for kids and stalls during July 4th evening ?
There is fireworks at Great America
We had gone to Great America in past. Need to reach there early to get better spot and parking.
Some colleagues had mentioned over the period that Foster City Firework is nice & fun. Foster City also has fair, musical event like San Jose. More info about this year’s event. Location Leo J. Ryan Park is overlooking central lake. Deep- Rashmi since you used to be in vicinity, have you been to Foster city firework??
Last 5 years we been that park and watched firework. It is really nice and also you can do BBQ in Ryan Park. And also we used to enjoy firework from home (Firework behind the ORCL build). We were wondering this year where to go to see firework?
We’ve been to Milpitas hills before – you can see fireworks from different places. Ofcourse there are no stalls or fun activities on the hills 🙂
Seems like the city of Santa Clara has also fireworks + other events in Central Park. Anyone been there before?
Here is the website.
Planning to go inside Great America this time for fireworks..

Update: We just came back from Milpitas fireworks and they were good. So we are satisfied. :-). But next time probably we will try a different city just to have experience of fireworks from different citites. Uptil now we have covered San Francisco, San Jose (3-4 times), Milpitas.
