You might have thought Berkeley routinely boycotts July 4, since it’s like, a patriotic holiday that could probably somehow be construed as mildly politically incorrect or less than totally inclusive or whatever, but–much to our delighted SoCal summer transplant’s surprise–it does not. Apparently, the city puts on a series of pretty Berkeley-ish events (Zydeco and belly dancing, anyone?) every year at the Berkeley Marina, which culminates in a fireworks display over the bay at night.
So whether you actually make the trip over there to get the full earsplitting experience, or you enjoy the rockets’ red glare from somewhere with a bay view and a couple of Natty Lights (or some other equally patriotic beverage), you can count on Berkeley to make July 4 at least a little bit special.
And just in case thinking about the potential detrimental effects fireworks might have on “lost and frightened animals” was keeping you up at night, toss and turn no more. The city of Berkeley was all over it. In 2007. Yes, you read that right. They were, indeed, considering a “Lazer light show” instead of fireworks.
