Oakland: No Fireworks, But Lots of Other Activities at Jack London Square
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.
