This sounds like a nice alternative to fireworks - a laser show. :)

I love this park... this place is what I wish half of DCA had been like.

We went to the Laser Show last night - parts of it were really quite charming. Michael Bonfante was there addressing the crowd and looking quite pleased. They only scheduled one seating but ended up having 2 full seatings of the show, so we didn't get out until after 10:15. Many rides closed after 8:45, but some stayed open until the second seating.

It was nice - they had lasers projected onto a screen and a couple of fog machines (I should have taken my mask)... played an intersting mix of Beatles (Octopus's Garden), Ray Charles and others, with laser animation and effects. Very nice, very family oriented. The lines were very long, but people were generally happy with the show.

Such a nice park! They have it again tonight, July 6th - I think it is the last night. There is a huge motorcycle rally going on in Hollister, so traffic may be a bit thick, but if you are in the Bay Area you should consider going to this show.
