From a fireworks cruise to a drinks on a rooftop, there’s no shortage of ways to celebrate the holiday in San Francisco. Here are five ways to spend your Independence Day this year.
Watch the fireworks show on the water
What better place to watch the Pier 39 fireworks show than on the water? The Fourth of July Fireworks Cruise from the Red and White Fleet, departing from Pier 43 ½, will include a beer and wine bar, and snack stations. The unparalleled views of the skyline, bay and fireworks will surely make the night unforgettable.
Go for a hike in this iconic spot
For those seeking a more adventurous excursion, there’s no better place than the iconic Golden Gate Promenade. With unmatched views of the city, bay, and of course the Golden Gate Bridge, this is the perfect spot to get some fresh air and enjoy the day. Pack a lunch too, and have a picnic with one of San Francisco's top picnicking experiences.
Do outdoor yoga
Take mindful break with an outdoor yoga class brought to you by Outdoor Yoga SF. With silent disco headphones that play music and the instructor’s voice, this is the perfect way to relax and enjoy the natural surrounding. With a multitude of instructors and locations to choose from, this is a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle of the busy holiday weekend.
Watch the sunset over fresh crab cakes
Grab a bite at the popular seafood restaurant Scoma’s this Independence Day. Located right on the Bay, this eatery, known for its “pier to plate” menu selection, is the perfect spot to watch the sunset and is a prime spot to watch the Municipal Pier fireworks in the evening. With their classic menu items like the Dungeness Crab Cakes and the Coos Bay Wild Shrimp Louis Salad, there's something for everyone here. 1965 Al Scoma Way
Sip cocktails at the 25 Lusk Rooftop
Finish off the night with cocktails at the 25 Lusk Rooftop. With incredible city views, unique cocktails—like the spicy passionfruit margarita—and fantastic small bites—such as the Bavarian pretzel bites—this is the perfect spot to kick back with friends after a day full of activities. 25 Lusk St.
