Kenwood’s 4th of July Fireworks Hike: View 18 Different Shows | 2023

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Climb the tallest mountain in Sonoma Valley–Bald Mountain–for a spectacular evening vantage point. This strenuous hike covers 6.5 miles roundtrip with 1500 ft. elevation gain–including some steep sections.

Upon arrival at the top, you’ll enjoy a sumptuous mountaintop reception. They’ll serve hearty snacks and sweets, lemonade, libation, and water. Kick back, relax, and enjoy the sunset and then beautiful sights of fireworks display that span the Bay Area–from Windsor in the north, Berkeley, and Oakland in the east, San Francisco to the south, with possible views of the south bay.

Space is limited and we expect to sell out. Reserve your space now.
