4th of July Fireworks

Happy 4th of July everyone! Below is a handy guide to the fireworks shows happening across the San Jose metro today. There are two shows in San Jose proper, one at the Excite Ballpark (ticketed) and a drone show at Lake Cunningham Park in East San Jose. Hope you all have a wonderful and safe 4th!

Fourth of July Fun in Santa Clara

As San Jose's official Fourth of July fireworks show at Lake Cunningham has been cancelled this year, the next best thing is to kick off Independence Day with a festive celebration with one of our neighbors! Santa Clara’s 4th of July event at Mission College is a short drive away and promises a day packed with excitement for the whole family.

The celebration starts at 4pm with a dozen food trucks and live music fills the air throughout the day. As evening approaches, the real highlight takes center stage: a spectacular fireworks show at 9:35 p.m. Launched from Great America and accompanied by patriotic music, the display lights up the night sky and offers a stunning view for all. Bring a lawn chair, gather your loved ones, and cap off the day with a great show.
