Bay Area Fourth of July Activities

There are always so many activities centered around one of the most celebrated and historically important holidays, Fourth of July. However, it is not always easy to find them. If you are looking for fireworks, a parade or fun run, look no further, here are a few tips of things to do. Other than that, just getting together with friends and having a BBQ is one of my favorite ways to celebrate!

For a full, though not complete, schedule of Bay Area fireworks at many of the larger cities, check out the ABC 7 News SF Web Site. This site includes fireworks viewing locations in SF, Oakland, Alameda along with many other cities around the bay!

If you plan on traveling for the 4th, here is a more broad list of fireworks and celebrations in the state of California, check out this site. Or if you are looking for nationwide celebrations, check out this list from Kids-List.

For information on smaller venues, you can find it at the following sites-

In San Jose's Rose Garden district, they have a neighborhood parade at 10 am and then a bouncy house and face painting for the kids to enjoy. The kids can also participate in the parade if they want to decorate a wagon or their bike. For more info, check out the alameda business association site.

Danville has a parade from 9-1 sponsored by Kiwanis.

San Ramon has a fun run every year too for runners or walkers - 5 and 10k that starts at 8:15 am. Great way to be healthy and celebrate!
