Independence Day: Where to see 4th of July Fireworks in San Diego


It's almost the 4th of July and I should probably get my life together and make a plan for the day. Of course, my procrastination means other people did the dirty work in compiling places to see fireworks, but I'll give you the quick truncated version. (Of course, after I did my list I found my friend Tristan's list at SanDiego.org and it's far more organized than my own.)

The Big Bay Boom.

Remember this?


The Big Bay Boom can be seen from many spots in San Diego, but these are your prime locations.

Harbor Island
North Embarcadero
Marina District

The Big Bay Boom starts at 9pm and is synchronized to music on The Mighty 1090 and Max FM 105.7. It's also gonna be on TV but that just sounds dumb.
