Family, Friends, Fireworks!
|
|
Looking for a sweet retreat to watch the fireworks with your family and friends?
History Park is the perfect relaxed setting to enjoy an old-fashioned 4th of July evening!
Stake out your picnic spot on the lawn, ride the trolley, get an ice cream, and bring your own fixings to barbecue. After dark you’ll have a great view of the fireworks from the San Jose Giants and no crowds to contend with!
