San Diego celebrates the 4th of July in big way, with their Big Bay Fireworks show. The best places to watch are North San Diego Bay, Shelter Island and Harbor Island. Or why not watch them on a dinner cruise? Find out all the details for that here.

There's nothing more American than baseball. Check if the San Diego Padres are playing at home.
