SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — The Fourth of July is a huge event in the San Diego area.

Known as the biggest Fourth of July fireworks show on the West Coast, the Big Bay Boom launches from four barges across the San Diego Bay. It brings in nearly a half a million people annually to watch the illuminating display.

Recently, USA Today 10Best, a travel reviews and vacation planning website, nominated 20 of the country’s most eye-popping fireworks displays. The Big Bay Boom is among those nominees on the list.
