SAN JOSE, Calif. (KRON) — The City of San Jose has canceled its Fourth of July fireworks show at Lake Cunningham after the fireworks planned for the show were destroyed in an explosion at a Yolo County fireworks facility. According to San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, the city is looking for a replacement or alternative to the planned fireworks show.

The party planned Friday at Lake Cunningham Park will still take place, according to city officials, but there will be no fireworks.
The Yolo County explosion occurred around 6 p.m. Tuesday at a fireworks storage warehouse in the area of Esparto and Madison near Country Road 23 and Country 86A. The fire grew to nearly 74 acres before forward progress was halted.
CalFire bomb and arson units are investigating the incident, in which seven people remain unaccounted for, according to fire officials.
The Cloverdale Lions Club also announced Wednesday that it was cancelling its annual Fourth of July fireworks following the Yolo County explosion. The facility, about 22 miles north of Vacaville, was the designated supplier of professional-grade fireworks for the Cloverdale Lions Club 4th of July Aerial Fireworks Show.
San Francisco city officials told KRON4 that SF's planned fireworks display over the Embarcadero would go ahead as planned. It is not yet known if any other Bay Area Fourth of July fireworks shows will be impacted.

Brighton, Michigan celebrates Fourth of July with Independence Day parade

Downtown Brighton was hopping Friday morning as the city celebrated Independence Day. Residents who live along the parade route say days like these are extra special. Brenda Stordahl's home had a front-row seat to Friday's parade. "We bought the house in '85, July 1; didn't know they did this. Surprise, and it's been a party ever since," she said. Stordahland and her friend Jan Stokes say they've been coming to the Brighton parade for decades. "I love watching the veterans," said Stokes. Friday's parade was organized by the Brighton Area Fire Authority. This year's parade featured more than 60 groups marching down Main Street, including Kay Janiczek, who joined in on stilts. "Everybody was clapping for my unicyclist and juggler today, lots and lots of cheers. I mean two things at once, right? We get to walk, fire performers get to kind of throw fire, but unicycling and juggling was our biggest response, lots of cheers for that," Janiczek said. Janiczek says she keeps signing up to be in the parade because many of the groups marching also benefit charities. "We love to spread the happiness, cheer, smiles that we can and hopefully give back to our community at the same time," she said.
