Like several other Bay Area cities, Oakland has dropped this year's fireworks display due to budget cuts. It's not the first time the city has skipped pyrotechnics: Oakland cancelled its display in 2007, though that year's concern was the flammability of ongoing construction at Jack London Square. This year, Jack London Square will host live bands, a petting zoo, farmer's market, wine bar, magician and more.
