Mission Bay Fireworks are Back After 10 Years!
The Mission Bay fireworks show put on by the Mission Bay Yacht Club to celebrate July 4th was an annual tradition that started in 1982, and it went dark in 2012 due to lack of funding. After a 10-year absence, the July holiday fireworks show is back on Mission Bay entirely due to the overwhelming support of the local San Diego community. The Mission Bay Yacht Club was able to raise more than $45,000 of the $60,000 fireworks show cost through a GoFundMe page, which enabled local residents and local businesses to raise money for the show.
You Can Make The Mission Bay Fireworks Show Even Bigger!
The GoFundMe page continues to accept donations up to the event date—the more money raised, the bigger and better the fireworks show will be!
