San Francisco Bay will close for fireworks on May 23, 2025

The Coast Guard is creating a temporary safety zone in San Francisco Bay for a fireworks display next year. This means boats and people cannot enter a specific area of the bay without permission during the event.

This is a routine safety measure for a public event. The Coast Guard regularly establishes these zones to protect people and vessels from pyrotechnics. It does not change any long-term rules or operations for the bay.
