Spartans Team Up For Independence Day Fireworks

San Jose, Calif.----San Jose State University Athletics, The City of San Jose, Comcast and the San Jose Giants are among the civic groups uniting for the city’s official Independence Day Fireworks Show taking place at Municipal Stadium following the July 4th Giants game.

Comcast has provided additional funding to expand the annual fireworks show. The United Site Services is providing the necessary support facilities that will allow the local community to watch the show for free.

San Jose State University Athletics led the effort to make space available for the community along with Happy Hollow Park & Zoo, History San Jose and Kelley Park to open the entire South Campus area for local citizens to watch the fireworks. The San Jose Giants game vs. the Modesto Nuts and the postgame fireworks show will be televised live on Comcast Hometown Network Channel 104.

The community is invited to watch the fireworks for free on the San Jose State University East Field next to Spartan Stadium or at Kelley Park. Parking for the Giants game will be available for $8 per car in the Municipal Stadium Parking Lot as well as Bud Winter Field.

Parking for the Fireworks viewing will be available for $8 per car at the San Jose State 7th Street Parking Lot, Kelley Park, the Japanese Friendship Garden, and History San Jose.

Due to the family nature of this event and State laws which regulate the viewing areas, tailgating will be restricted from parking lots and no alcohol is allowed. The community is encouraged to bring blankets and chairs to watch the fireworks from the East Field or Kelley Park. Please keep in mind that coolers are not allowed on University property.

A satellite Turkey Mike’s Express will be open in the Municipal Stadium parking lot for patrons outside of the stadium. More information on the event is available at www.sjgiants.com.
