The opening of the Weber Point Event Center and return of a waterfront July 4th
celebration in downtown Stockton has been
made possible through funding approved by the
Stockton City Council. The fireworks display is
provided by the Stockton Ports; the team’s
home games on opening night, weekends, and
on or near Independence Day traditionally
include a fireworks display view
able from the Stockton Ballpark
at Banner Island.
This
year’s display has been enhanced for increased visibility from Weber Point Event Center by
generous donations from
the community.
