Santa Clara County Fourth of July fireworks to light up the sky - San Jose Spotlight
Briefly

Santa Clara County is celebrating the Fourth of July with various festivities and light shows despite the cancellation of some events due to a warehouse explosion. San Jose plans its first drone show, replacing a canceled fireworks display. Sunnyvale is shifting to a festival format after unexpected attendance issues last year. Cupertino, facing budget challenges previously, will host its fireworks show this year with projected surpluses. Various viewing locations have been identified for the celebrations, with road closures planned to accommodate the festivities.
The tragedy in Yolo County has affected multiple fireworks displays across the state. While we have to cancel the fireworks, the celebration is still on.
We are actively exploring holding a Sunnyvale drone show in 2026 for the United States Semiquincentennial.
Cupertino's fireworks show, the only one in the West Valley, was canceled last year as the city grappled with a multimillion-dollar budget deficit.
The city is now projecting surpluses and can fund the $42,000 show set to light up the sky at 9:30 p.m.
