Due to the large numbers of people expected, it is anticipated that The Embarcadero between Howard and King will be closed to accomodate the overflow crowd who will be coming to the area to watch the fireworks. It is estimated that the closure will start around 8:30 PM. However, we will be prepared to close the Embarcadero earlier if needed for public safety reasons. It will be possible to view the fireworks along Herb Caen Way south of the Ferry Building and from Rincon Park which is located along the Embarcadero between Howard and Harrison Streets. Parking will be limited in the area of the event. Motorcycle Parking will not be allowed along the Embarcardero.

Please be advised that any cars parked in the area will have to wait until the crowds have cleared out before leaving.
