Spectacular Fireworks: Feel the thunder
Largest July 4th fireworks display in Oregon takes center stage
It’s a Safeway Waterfront Blues Festival tradition! The Waterfront Blues Festival presents a spectacular display of fireworks on July 4th to celebrate America's rich, original and most important contribution to music - the blues. KINK fm102 will simulcast the soundtrack.
Enjoy listening to fabulous blues right up to the time the first fireworks burst in the sky to ¬Å“oohs¬Â and ¬Å“ahhs¬Â at 10:05 p.m. on July 4. People begin staking out their favorite viewing spots at about 6 p.m.
Admission to the festival and its fireworks presentation is $10 donation per person per day plus two cans of nonperishable food. 100 percent of donations benefit Oregon Food Bank.
Bring a sweater or light jacket and a small pad or blanket to sit on.
Tip: Once you arrive at the festival on July 4, plan to stay. If the fire marshall determines the festival has reached its capacity, gates will close. Those outside the festival gates will not be allowed in — even if they entered previously. (Exception: Those who have purchased a special pass in advance.)
