San Francisco Bay closes for New Year's Eve fireworks, again

The Coast Guard will close a section of San Francisco Bay for the New Year's Eve fireworks display. This means no unauthorized boats or people can enter the designated safety zone during the event.

Every year, the Coast Guard issues these temporary rules to manage public safety during events like fireworks displays. This specific rule ensures that the area around the San Francisco Ferry Building is clear of vessels, protecting people and property from pyrotechnics. It's a routine but necessary step to allow large public events to proceed safely on navigable waters.
