San Francisco's weather can be unpredictable, especially during the summer. Be prepared for potentially cold and windy conditions, as fog is not uncommon. Layered clothing and blankets will help keep you warm and comfortable throughout the show.
As much as you may be tempted to bring your own fireworks, l for the safety of all, leave the pyrotechnics to the professionals.
