The Fourth of July holiday is one of the biggest in San Diego, and this year’s Big Bay Boom fireworks show is expected to draw even more visitors. According to AAA, it’s predicted that there will be a record travel season for the holiday.
The economic impact of Big Bay Boom is also expected to be significant. Nathan Kelley, Director of Research for San Diego Tourism Authority, stated that this event has always been a big draw for tourists and will continue to boost the local economy.
Urias, a 10-year-old boy from Arizona who has come to San Diego for the second year in a row, shared his excitement about witnessing the fireworks display during Big Bay Boom. He said he can’t wait to see the lights light up the sky once again.
Data from previous years indicates that up to 300,000 people watched Big Bay Boom in person, resulting in an economic impact of up to $90 million. This event has helped increase hotel occupancy rates in San Diego and make it a popular destination for Fourth of July travelers.
Kelley believes that San Diego will continue to have the highest hotel occupancy rate during the Fourth of July holiday this year due to its popularity among tourists and locals alike. So if you’re looking for a fun way to celebrate Independence Day, head down to Big Bay Boom in San Diego!
