2020年新冠疫情肆虐，國慶煙火秀這種會萬頭鑽動的活動不是轉為線上就是只能車上與他人隔著社交距離觀看。2021年夏即便有Delta肆虐但已有一半的美國民眾接種疫苗，有些煙火活動已經回歸，但今年即便有omicron亞種流竄，在5歲以下小小孩都開放接種的情況下，大型活動幾乎都回歸啦！！而在聖地牙哥，不論是公園或是海邊，在北郡還是南灣，一定都找得到煙火的蹤影，記得當天要放下手邊的活動，好好連去年的燦爛天空都一起感受一下吧！
聖地牙哥南區（San Diego Downtown）& Coronado
聖地牙哥市中心區，可算是每年最大的煙火慶典，從Shelter Island, Harbor Island, the Embarcadero area and Seaport Village/Coronado Landing圍繞在整個聖地牙哥的海邊，煙火齊放的盛大景象，讓聖地牙哥的天空絢爛又精彩。

聖地亞哥市中心區，Big Bay Boom Fireworks Show可算是每年最大的煙火慶典，從Shelter Island, Harbor Island, the Embarcadero 區以及Seaport Village/Coronado Landing圍繞在整個聖地亞哥的海邊，煙火齊放的盛大景象，讓聖地亞哥的天空絢爛又精彩。
- Shelter Island 是個小而溫馨的海灘。各位不妨裝滿一籃子好吃的東西和飲料，帶上幾張折疊椅和溫暖的毛毯享受下海岸線的景色及煙火吧！ 2071 Shelter Island Drive, San Diego, CA 92106
- Harbor Island 位置靠近聖地亞哥國際機場。這裡是個觀賞煙火、聖地亞哥夜景的好地方。 2040 Harbor Island Drive, San Diego, CA 92101
- Embarcadero 位於聖地亞哥會議中心 (Convention Center) 的後面。 Embarcadero 是另一個在海灣前看煙火的好地方。這裡有充足的停車位並且臨近 Gaslamp 區，觀賞煙火前可以在市中心的商店逛逛然後在 Gaslamp 選一家餐廳好好地享用美食。 1325 Pacific Highway, San Diego, CA 92101.
- Seaport Village、Coronado Landing 中間剛好隔了一個海灣 (San Diego Bay)，選擇任何一邊觀看煙火都可眺望對岸的景色。兩邊都各有不同的小商店可逛逛，晚上看煙火之前也可選擇在有海景的餐廳用餐喔！

北部海岸區(North Coastal)
聖地牙哥北邊分成海岸及內陸區，北部海岸區算是將市區海邊活動一路向北的延伸，將地牙哥的海岸線，連成最美麗的海岸線。Del Mar Fairgrounds的嘉年華每年都是重頭戲，今年的Home Grown Fun雖然縮小舉辦，但也在國慶煙火下閉幕。La Jolla Oceanside Beach就是輕輕鬆鬆帶把海灘傘、椅，鋪上海灘巾，準備個小點心，傭慵懶懶得躺在沙灘上，度過輕鬆的 一天。

Fourth of July Fireworks at La Jolla Cove
La Jolla Cove 在國慶日當天會有一系列活動，包括Bird Rock 遊行、Barber Tract 地區的遊行等，至於煙火，已經連續第四年取消，主要是加州海岸委員會向聖地牙哥市頒發許可證，這個證要求每年在 5 月 1 日至 10 月 31 日期間因拉霍亞海獅繁殖季因此將關閉該處海，同時在此段期間禁放煙火爆竹。通行證七年有效。因此2021年因許可證問題臨時喊卡，2020年因疫情未舉辦，前兩年因資金不足而未舉辦。今年有可能不會舉辦，要前往的朋友們可先上La Jolla 基金會臉書確認。
- Location: Ellen Browning Scripps Park, 1180 Coast Boulevard, La Jolla, CA 92037
- Time: 9:00 PM
- Fireworks: Pending

北部內陸區(North Inland)
聖地牙哥北邊內陸區，可算是除了市區以外的活動外是最大的慶祝區域，主要多圍繞在當地的公園或是社區活動中心，像是Escondido, Mira Mesa, Poway, Rancho Bernado, San Marcos，甚至到Vista都自己慶祝活動及煙火，而活動慶祝方式，除了遊行、食物、遊戲、現場音樂及兒童親子活動外，應該是可以想到的活動應有盡有吧！從早到晚，一直到煙火秀結束，也是可以累到極點的。

東部區域 (East County)
聖地牙哥東部，大概就想的到的幾區域，像是El Cajon, Santee, 甚至遠到蘋果大鎮Julian也有自己慶祝活動，只是Julian 今年沒有了國慶煙火，以展現東部小鎮的風情為主，慶祝黃金採礦的歷史及退伍軍人及現役軍人為主軸的慶祝方式，別有一番風味。
