On July 4, 2024, the Boathouse & American Bistro at Shoreline Lake in Mountain View will, once again, provide the most unique way to enjoy the fireworks in Silicon Valley – from a pedalboat, rowboat, canoe or kayak, in the middle of the Lake, with friends and family – and the best view of the Shoreline Amphitheatre fireworks show from anywhere in the Park or City limits.
Fireworks viewing on the grounds is free. Viewing from the water, requires reserving a vessel which you can bring yourself or rent (https://shorelinelake.com/amilia.html).
As a nature preserve within the heart of Silicon Valley, Shoreline Lake offers a true respite, and a variety of different activities, that make for great Independence Day experiences away from the surrounding, and hectic, urban landscape.
Get an exclusive view of the fireworks show from the waters of Shoreline Lake. Boat rentals for this fireworks viewing are available by reservation only. On July Fourth, regular rentals must be returned by 8:30 pm, to ensure patrons with vessels reserved for the fireworks viewing can board. The BBQ dinner will be served 6pm-8pm, and boarding for boat rentals will begin at 8:30pm. Boat reservations will be held no later than 9:15pm; failure to check-in by 9:15pm will result in your reservation being forfeit. This makes sure you can get out on the water before the show begins and can enjoy the entire show from your vessel. Also, after the show, watercraft will need to be returned by 10:15 pm.
Like last year’s revival of this popular family-friendly tradition, 2024’s viewing is expected to continue being a hit with Shoreline Lake visitors. (The Boathouse opened reservations early for the fireworks-dedicated watercraft rentals, given the number of requests this year.)
