San Marcos – Fireworks start at 9 p.m.  This is a great place because Bradley Park is so large and there is tons of space.  There is also some free children’s activities and entertainment beginning at 6 p.m.  Arrive early because parking will be an issue even though the park is large there is never enough parking.  For more info click here.
