Bobby, I think that link is an old one. Downtown SJ's American Festival has been cancelled for the past couple of years due to the city's budget.

Great America stop having them in 08 since Paramount dont own them anymore. now you see local people form Santa Clara chill out on the brige over the guadalupe river in Alviso and watch fireworks from there..Whats coo about there you can also if they do have them in Great amearica you can also see them from there. 2 shows in one spot

I remember that, and there's the spot out by Valco where you used to be able to watch 2, 3 shows at the same time too.

The best place IMO is at the berkely marina. tons of space to catch the fireworks right above ur head, plus if its not foggy you can watch the SF fireworks there too.

Muni Stadium in San Jose (Where the San Jose Giants play) is having fireworks this year to make up for the downtown one being canceled. I'll be working a traffic spot probably, so don't run me over lol
