Fireworks, picnics in the park, hot dogs on the grill — well, OK, maybe a veggie burger, or two, but San Francisco will be right in step with the rest of the U.S. Outdoor concerts and cruises on the bay to watch the fireworks are just part of the Independence Day fun.
With events ranging from America’s Cup’s opening weekend (featuring the Louis Vuitton Cup) to the Fourth of July firework spectacular it is a busy time in San Francisco. Here are the things not to miss out.
