Saturday we get to celebrate Independence day all across the United States. We love celebrating the Fourth of July in San Francisco. We are lucky enough to have one the best Fourth of July fireworks displays in the country. Watching the fireworks over the bay is something that every resident must do at least once. There are many viewing spots all through San Francisco. Here are a few locations to check out that are close the The Wilson.

Pier 7

If you are not having an all day celebration, Pier 7 might be the perfect place for you to view the San Francisco Bay fireworks. Pier 7 has an amazing view of the fireworks that are set off from Municipal Pier and the barges north of Pier 9.


West Bluffs

Maybe you want to have an all day picnic for your Fourth of July festivities. The West Bluffs might be your ideal location for this Saturday.  There is a big field picnic area on Crissy Field for you to use for your party. At this location on Marine Drive, you can view the Golden Gate Bridge, the Marin Headlands and Angel Island. This gives you a great view of the fireworks you have been waiting for all year.

California HornBlower

Maybe you want a more elegant evening for the Fourth of July. The Hornblower's San Francisco Belle Cruise might be the perfect night away. This cruise costs $154 dollars, but it includes a dinner buffet, a hosted wine and beer bar and a three in a half hour cruise to enjoy the night and see the fireworks. This cruise includes live entertainment leading up the main event at dark.  This gives you a rare up close and personal view of the bay area show. You can learn more and purchase tickets for the cruise here.

Twin Peaks

If you are looking for more of an intimate viewing area, consider driving up to Twin Peaks. You can bring a blanket to cozy up and not only watch San Francisco's fireworks but also Berkeley's and Sausalito's.

We hope that you have a safe and wonderful Fourth of July with your friends and family. Do you have a favorite viewing spot for the fireworks? Comment with your location on our Facebook Page under this post!
