No More Kaboom

If you’ve planning to do KFOG’s famous KaBoom, an annual synchronized concert and fireworks display on the Cityfront, you’re going to be sorely disappointed. It seems the skyrocketing costs of organizing the event combined with lowered attendance — which was blamed on the change of venues last year from Pier 30/32 to Candlestick Park — has resulted in its demise. "We were unable to find the right home for KaBoom, so unfortunately we’ve had to cancel the event," said KFOG Promotion Director Brian Comstock. "We’re very thankful for everyone’s support over the years, and we’re hard at work planning new events for the coming months."
