Santa Clara County, the city of San Jose and the San Jose Rotary Club Wednesday pledged $120,000 toward a July 4 fireworks display to celebrate the club’s 100th anniversary in the city, a spokesman said. <\/p>\n

The Rotary Centennial Fireworks event on Independence Day will take place in downtown San Jose, but exact details are still being hammered out, club publicity committee member Nicholas Adams said. <\/p>\n

The city of san jose used to host annual Fourth of July fireworks displays until 2009 when the city halted funding for it due to budget constraints, Adams said.<\/p>\n

San Jose’s Rotary Club chapter, which started in 1914, opted to revive the downtown show just for this year for its century anniversary, he said. <\/p>\n

“This is a one-time gift to the city,” Adams said. “Anything past this has not been discussed.” <\/p>\n

“This is a big deal — the largest city in the Bay Area will have a fireworks display again,” Adams said. <\/p>\n

To pay for the exploding pyrotechnics, the county has pledged to kick in $70,000, the city $50,000 and the club $20,000, Adams said. <\/p>\n

The 450-member humanitarian service group expects local businesses to promise additional money and serve as event co-sponsors, Adams said. <\/p>\n

“There are a long list of folks who want to support it, and for next year, too,” he said. <\/p>\n

Michele McGurk, spokeswoman for San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed, said that firework shows put on by the city in past years took place at Discovery Meadow, a large field next to the Children\u2019s Discovery Museum of San Hose in downtown off of West San Carlos Street and state Highway 87. <\/p>\n

In order to contain costs, this year’s July 4 fireworks event will not include a festival, booths or alcohol sales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
