Best Fourth of July Fireworks Shows

Top Fireworks Shows

The summer is officially here, and what better way to celebrate our independence than a good old fashion BBQ or spending the day at a community event, followed by an awesome fireworks show! 

Seafair Summer 4th

Why not make an entire day out of your Fourth of July?  You can bring the entire family down to Gas Works Park and enjoy many of the Seafair's festivities.  There are endless food vendors, fun exhibits, and great music that happens right on the park's main stage.

For the fireworks display, you can watch the show for free and sit wherever you score a seat, or you can pay for reserved seating.  This epic show is right on Lake Union, and one you will not want to miss!

Tacoma Freedom Fair on the Ruston Waterfront

This event is bound to bring entertainment as there is quite a sight to see with a historical and memorable air show, and is known to be one of the best aviation acts in the country.  There are classic cars, a variety of food vendors, and plenty of entertainment to go around.  

The fireworks display is right on the Ruston Waterfront in front of Katie Downs.  This show will not disappoint as it has been happening for forty years, and there are no bad viewing spots in this spectacular location.  

Lake Sammamish Fireworks Show

As a board member of the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank, and as someone who enjoys a good fireworks show, this one is my favorite.  The event raises money each year to support this wonderful organization, and in 2017 they have a goal to raise $30,000 to fully fund our Summer Lunch Program.  You can donate to the Summer Lunch Program here:  Online

One of the best locations for viewing would be by boat, North of the sunken forest area of South Lake Sammamish.  You can also have great views at Lake Sammamish State Park and Vasa Park.  Both of these sites will have food drop off stations.  What can be better than enjoying an amazing fireworks performance all while raising money for a good cause?  

Celebrate Kirkland

Start your day off with a celebratory parade called "With Liberty and Justice For ALL."  There is the Children's Parade and the Community Parade, which means Kirkland likes to have fun and celebrate!  The Children's Parade begins at 10:00am, and the Community Parade starts at noon.  

There are festivities happening all day, ending with an amazing fireworks display over Marina Park starting at 10:15pm.  Bring a blanket, invite some friends, and enjoy the show!
