San Francisco Bay will be closed for New Year's Eve fireworks

The Coast Guard will close a section of San Francisco Bay to all unauthorized boats and people for the New Year's Eve fireworks display. This closure is to protect everyone from the dangers of pyrotechnics.

Every year, the Coast Guard issues these temporary rules to manage safety for public events on navigable waterways. These small, routine closures are a constant feature of how federal agencies manage public access and safety for specific events, ensuring that large gatherings don't turn into maritime hazards.
