San Diego in July, where the sun's out, but the mercury doesn't boil over (average high 76°F, thank you very much). While the nation's fireworks compete for the sky on the 4th, San Diego's Big Bay Boom steals the show, turning the bay into a kaleidoscope of colors. But the city doesn't cool down after that – the San Diego Pride Festival, a vibrant two-day extravaganza, ensures the sizzle stays in the city until mid-July. So, pack your flip-flops and join the fun – just don't forget your sunscreen.
