July 4 Independence Day Fireworks Celebration
Sunday, July 4: The July 4 annual Independence Day Fireworks Celebration will take place along the waterfront near the Municipal Pier and Pier 39. Entertainment will be at Pier 39, Aquatic Park and Ghirardelli Square. The fireworks display will begin at 9:30 p.m. Muni will operate on a Sunday schedule, but extra Muni service will be provided to and from the fireworks display on The Embarcadero.
Starting from around noon to 11 p.m., large crowds and heavy traffic should be expected to and from Treasure Island.
As many as 200,000 people are expected in the event area. Traffic congestion and disruption of transit service are expected in the northern section of the city. To ensure safety of the riding public, customers should pay attention to their surroundings and allow extra travel time to get around the City.
The roads along the north waterfront will be closed and made available to crowds to enjoy. Road closures will be started by San Francisco Police Department at any time and will continue to close streets for pedestrian safety.
As the crowd grows and to ensure safety of pedestrians, SFPD Police Officers and SFMTA Parking Control Officers can decide to close Fisherman’s Wharf area bounded by The Embarcadero, Van Ness Avenue and Bay Street to vehicular traffic.
