Fourth of July Celebration at The Pier
Saturday, July 4, 2026 July 4, 2026 Stanford Court
Celebrate the red, white, and blue at San Francisco’s premier waterfront destination. The Fourth of July Celebration at The Pier offers a classic American holiday experience with a unique Bay Area twist. From sun-up to sundown, PIER 39 comes alive with energy, making it the perfect hub for families and visitors.
Event Highlights:
- Live Local Bands: Enjoy a rotating lineup of talented Bay Area musicians performing on the Entrance Plaza Stage throughout the afternoon.
- Family Fun: Discover interactive arts and crafts stations, street performers, and the iconic PIER 39 carousel.
- Waterfront Dining: Savor fresh Dungeness crab, sourdough bread bowls, and festive treats from over 14 full-service restaurants.
- The Main Event: As night falls, look to the sky for a dazzling fireworks display. PIER 39 provides one of the city's best vantage points to watch the synchronized show launched from barges positioned in the Bay.
Pro-Tip: The Pier gets incredibly crowded by the afternoon. Arrive early to secure a viewing spot along the perimeter and remember to bring a heavy jacket—the July fog (locally known as "Karl") often makes the waterfront quite chilly once the sun goes down!
