San Francisco offers fireworks,
film festivals and jazz this summer. Pier 39 is one of the best places to spend the Fourth of July.
Free concerts by Take 2 and Tainted Love at the pier’s entrance welcome
you to an Independence Day festival of food, crafts and music.
Of course, the main
event is a spectacular over-the-bay fireworks display. The show begins
at approximately 9:30.
Be sure to dress warmly, as the breeze off the
water can make the pier a bit chilly.
The Fillmore Street Jazz Festival
(July 4-5) brings art and soul to three stages. The festival features 300
artists’ booths as well as an international food court.
