  • Fireworks and Festivities Information for July 4th

    Hello, Neighbors.

    See the official flyers attached here from the City of San Jose regarding illegal fireworks.

    There will be several professional fireworks displays in San Jose, one local at Almaden Lake Park with a great lineup, at the corner of Winfield and Coleman Avenue. Parking spots will be sparse. One may have to park further away.

    Many details of the Almaden Lake Park festivities (food court, entertainment activities) can be seen on the District 10 Council office website: https://sjd10.com/4th-of-july. Scroll all the way through the website to find lots of information on the festivities at Almaden Lake Park on July 4th.

    Regards,
