Fourth of July Fireworks on the water

• * A TICKET ON EVENTBRITE ARE FOR THOSE INTERESTED ONLY AND DOES NOT GRANT PURCHASE OF ANY VESSEL, PLEASE GO TO @shorelinelake.com FOR ALL PURCHASES *

To ensure Park visitors can enjoy the full fireworks display (on- and off-the-water), hours are extended at both the Bistro (8am-10:30pm, limited evening menu after 7pm) and Boathouse (10am-10:30pm). Fireworks vessel rental start and end times, plus reservation info, are noted below.

By the Boathouse. While the Park doesn't allow for individual barbecues, on July 4th, from 11am-3pm, we're making it easy for everyone to have a barbecue picnic here, and enjoy being out on the patio taking in the waterfront view.

You’ll get a whopping great plate – a choice of 1-, 2- or 3-types of meat with 2 sides. In addition, veggie burgers, hot dogs and hamburgers will also be available. For dessert, we dare you to try our house-made pastries...

If Brunch is more your style, please contact the Bistro at 650-965-1745 to make reservations, particularly for large groups. You can check out the Bistro Menu here.

Enjoy the best view of the Fireworks Show, from the waters of Shoreline Lake!

The Boathouse provides to Park visitors the most unique way in the Park (and the rest of Mountain View) to enjoy the fireworks – from a pedalboat, rowboat, canoe or single/double kayak in the middle of the Lake, with friends and family.

Although watercraft are not allowed on the Lake after sunset, Shoreline makes an exception for Independence Day. The Boathouse is now taking online reservations for these special watercraft rentals, so you can escape the crowds and watch the fireworks from the water. To make a reservation by phone, and if you need additional info, please call the Boathouse at (650) 965-7474.

Also, the American Bistro is making available a special deluxe snack pack for the fireworks viewing ($25 per box, for 2 ppl), that comes with:

• • Gourmet Popcorn Cone
• • Wholesome Medley Trail Mix
• • Provolone Cheese & Genoa Salami Rolls
• • Housemade Chocolate Chip Cookie, with Festive Fruit Cup (Blueberries & Strawberries)
• • Choice of Drink (Soft Drink, Mineral Water or Still Water)

This option will be prompted as part of the vessel reservation checkout. However, if you decide to purchase the snack pack after making your reservation, or would like to order it separately, the Bistro is taking advance orders only – must be in by 5pm, Monday, July 3rd. To place an order, please contact the Bistro at (650) 965-1745.

Please Note: Boat rentals for the Fireworks viewing are available by reservation only. Given previous years' high demand, and to ensure that everyone can take part in this experience, the last rental time is specially extended, so you can reserve your preferred watercraft for the viewing.

On July Fourth, regular rentals must be returned by 8:30 pm, to ensure patrons with reserved vessels can board first – starting at 9:00 pm. This makes sure you can get out on the water before the show begins and can enjoy the entire show from your vessel. Also, after the show, watercraft will need to be returned by 10:15 pm.

Younger kids need entertaining? Or, want to take the red, white and blue color scheme to the max? Shoreline Lake will have Lynn Bali – our campers' favorite lady, plus Shoreline's Creative Arts Director and face-painter extraordinaire – available to give the kids (and adults too) a magical experience and just the right patriotic flair.
