Best California Destinations to See 4th of July Fireworks

It wouldn't be July 4th without rounding off the celebrations at a fireworks display, and displays in California are among the nation's best. Many are free to attend so pack a picnic, get your spot early and enjoy a spectacular display in the night skies.

1. San Diego
San Diego's "Big Bay Boom" fireworks display bills itself as the largest event in the Western U.S. and is not to be missed. Watch from anywhere along the shore, but get there early to secure your spot.
2. Lake Tahoe
Rated one of the top five displays in the whole of the U.S., you can experience the Tahoe fireworks from anywhere in town. The best view is from the water, so book yourself onto a dinner cruise for a night to remember.
3. San Jose

The Rotary Club in San Jose put on a spectacular display every July 4th, which is free to view from Discovery Meadows in the center of the city. If you feel like splashing out, there are also VIP tickets available which include a dinner buffet and special seating area with a prime view of the pyrotechnics.

Best Big Cities in California for a 4th of July Vacation

California's major cities all offer something a bit different when it comes to 4th July celebrations. Los Angeles is all about glitz, glamor and a beach lifestyle, whereas San Francisco's celebrations are more family-focused, with an emphasis on superb local food and drink.

1. Long Beach

Permanent mooring site of the iconic Queen Mary cruise ship, Long Beach offers a July 4th with a difference. The cruise ship hosts an annual extravaganza with guided tours and access to special exhibitions, along with live music, entertainment, and kids' activities. Then when the sun sets, watch the firework display from shore.
2. Pasadena

The Rose Bowl's annual "Americafest" is one of the nation's longest-established fireworks displays, and uses over a ton of explosives for ultimate effect. Before the fireworks finale, visitors can enjoy family-focused entertainment throughout the day, with food vendors and inflatable rides to keep the kids happy too.
3. Bakersfield

Enjoy the ultimate American day out in Bakersfield, first by watching the Bakersfield Train Robbers take on another local side in a hotly-contested baseball match before enjoying the post-match fireworks from your seat in the stadium.
