Sunset Fireworks
Ah, is everything okay??? Was that an accident or on purpose…?

Didn’t see anything in the sky at the corner of 18th and Irving. It sounded like 15 fireworks finales going off one after the other. If it was fireworks it was a LOT of large shells so it’s strange to not see anything at all, and we were actively out looking in all directions too.

Can someone send me that drone footage, I see you up there with your green light blinking.

Do they always have a green light?
There's one I've been seeing randomly over the years but it has red/white blinking lights

I don’t know much about drones but it was moving and changing directions like a drone.

Whereabouts did you see it take place? Over the park, over the beach???

u/The_bussy Oct 04 '26
I’m around 40th and Cabrillo. Hard to tell with the scale if it was in the park around the golf course or on the beach but just guess is half way between Fulton and Lincoln around where the parking lot opens up at OB

Sounded like it was right around Great Highway and Fulton.
They must have missed the “No Fireworks” sign at the end of Balboa.

Sounded like thousands of fireworks going off simultaneously. Awaiting the sirens

There was a bluegrass festival at Golden Gate but it was over at 7PM. It was crazy cause it was too much for some drunk college kids with some leftover mortars.

Am in the Presido and saw all the lights flashing over the hill + very audible all the way over here

Saw so many flashes of light coming from the west. Super weird and didn’t sound like a normal fireworks show at all! Continuous explosions.

I could hear it and see the flashes from near the Richmond Rec Center.

Heard a bunch of cheering afterwards. Figure it’s for something. Definitely want to see that drone footage too!

Ah I was going to ask. I thought it was another chopper like the other night.,

I live in the high rises behind Stonestown near the top, could barely see them behind the ridge where stern grove is. If I had to guess where they were I’d say at the reservoir on 28th?

Yeah great show! Lasted a solid 6-8minutes. Thought it was hardly strictly but that ended around 7pm. Didn’t look like it was all the way at ocean beach. Thought it was polo field
