Red, White + Boom: Fourth of July Fireworks + Events Around the Bay Area

(Adapted in part from 7×7.com, 6/29/2022 and Patch.com, 6/20/2022)
 
The Bay Area will be sparkling with many Independence Day events and displays I’m excited to share with you! There’s something for everyone on this list. First off, please come see my team and me in the Kiwanis-Danville Parade on Monday, July 4th, from 9 AM to noon in downtown Danville.
 
Team Joujou Parade Prep
 
This year’s parade theme is Celebrating Our Local Olympians to recognize our local community members who have taken part in the Olympic movement. The Parade will take place along Hartz Avenue and San Ramon Valley Boulevard from approximately 9 am to noon, starting at San Ramon Valley High School at Railroad Avenue. The parade can be seen from either side of the street and there is always plenty of room for everyone! See you there 🙂
