The 4th of July fireworks will be launched from the Port of Redwood City again this year, capping a day of festivities in Redwood City that includes the traditional downtown parade.
The fireworks extravaganza will start at approximately 9:30 pm. Before that a rock n' roll band, Jokers and Thieves, will perform at the Port waterfront stage starting at 7 pm and going until about 9:20 pm.
The fireworks can be seen from areas where there is a clear view of the skies above the Port, and can also be seen from high points all over the Peninsula. For those coming to the Port, early arrival is highly recommended because this area is mostly private property with very limited public parking.

The Port is providing a public viewing area along the waterfront off of Seaport Court. Once all of the very limited public parking spaces are filled, Seaport Boulevard will be closed to all vehicle traffic at the intersection of Seaport/Blomquist. Once the intersection has been closed, no vehicle access to the Port area will be available. This traffic control restriction could occur as early as 7:30 pm - so be sure to plan accordingly.
Alcohol is prohibited on-site at the fireworks show.
