DATE: Saturday, July 4, 2026
TIME: 8:30 PM – 10:00 PM PDT (drone show at dusk)

WHAT TO EXPECT:
San Jose's July 4th drone show at Lake Cunningham is Silicon Valley doing Independence Day in its own signature style — using technology instead of traditional fireworks. Hundreds of synchronized drones create animated patriotic shapes, the American flag, and America 250 formations over the calm lake surface, with the display reflecting in the water for a double visual effect. The park's open lawns and lakeside paths offer great viewing spots for the entire family.
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Synchronized drone light show over Lake Cunningham
• America 250 and patriotic formations
• Quiet and smoke-free — great for families and pets
• Lakeside reflections enhance the visual effect
• East San Jose community celebration atmosphere
TIPS:
• VTA buses serve Lake Cunningham — take Line 25 or 64 from downtown SJ
• Parking fills fast; arrive by 7 PM and set up a lakeside viewing spot
• Bring a blanket and picnic — the park lawns are perfect for a July 4th evening
