FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION AT THE PIER
San Francisco’s annual July 4th celebration takes place along the northern waterfront; ask me about arranging a special cruise or waterfront reservation for the best views. The city sets off the incredible display from the end of Municipal Pier and barges in front of Pier 39.
