What are the cool 4th of July parties this weekend in San Francisco?

The ones with booze and fireworks.

petethepothead: yes, but where are they? :) i heard there is some sort of viking party. anyone know about this?

What is “cool” to you? Details please. Because what is cool to me might not be to you.

[because a viking party sounds…not cool to me]

I like everything really.

Everything… Really?

yup.

Upcoming is a pretty good resource for finding events in SF. You might want to browse through their listings as well as the Guardian and Chronice calendar of events.

Last year I spent the Fourth at the Berkeley Marina and had a pretty good time. There was lots of good food and free sailboat rides!

Another resource for finding things to do is Going. Personally, I plan to attend the Fillmore Jazz Festival. Free music, cool vendors, drinking beer and wine outside. I also plan to take my son to the Marin County Fair.
