^ Goes to show you've never been there... there might be a few gunshots, but there's fireworks everywhere! If you arrive empty handed and want to launch some yourself, there's truck loads at the corner!

Foster city has a pretty good show. Its better than treasure island show and you can actually see the fireworks.

SF sucks for fireworks unless you like to see fog/overcast light up.

De Anza College in Cupertino usually has a very extravagant fireworks display that costs a lot of money to put together, and there's also Great America in the area, but I think they've cut spending lately. You can also go to Berkeley, over there by the pier off of 80 to catch a nice fireworks display too. And if you don't mind making a trip out of it, Tahoe is a good place to be too.
