4th of July Photos At The Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco

*Click photos to enlarge*


We celebrated our Independence Day evening walking along Powell from the Washington Square (4 minutes on foot from our flat). This street lead us straight to the wharf. It was cool- we didn't even have to turn right or left, but just did it straight ahead! With us was a battalion of folks from different walks of life, braving the great San Francisco wind to watch what was beautiful and awesome- the great fireworks on the 4th of July!

LEFT: Our parish, the Saints Peter and Paul Church was lighted up as we were walking home. We found out that somebody had gone up to the rooftop! Police cars were all over Filbert Street. There was a firetruck as well.

RIGHT: The fireworks at the Fisherman's Wharf- Here we got tired waiting and feeling the chill of the bay so we started walking to get some coffee at the International House of Pancake (IHOP) then all of a sudden the fireworks began. We took these photos along Grant.

We left our place at 8.05 PM and reached the wharf at around 8.30 PM, walking on a moderate speed. It was great! We have been walking a lot here in SFO since moving here last June 18th. Anyhow, we discovered that the Powell route is shorter as compared to walking along Grant.

Heaves of people came to see the fireworks. We have never seen the wharf that crowded until the 4th of July! So here are some photos to enjoy. Cheers!
