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 “oohs”
and “ahhs” 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.)

in 1948 and has been producing fireworks shows for 60 years
in the Northwest and around the United States . On July 4, the company will supply more than 250 fireworks
