🇺🇸 We're celebrating 250 years on July 4th and that means fireworks will light up the sky at dusk. Again this year, the City of Newport’s fireworks display will be launched from the Port of Newport International Terminal over Yaquina Bay. We are pleased to be part of the Independence Day celebration!

Have fun, but please remember:

⚠️While fireworks can be viewed from the International Terminal and the Port Dock 7 parking lot, private fireworks are absolutely prohibited on all port property.

⚠️The commercial marina storage lot and hoist dock area are open to commercial traffic only on July 4. This is an industrial area and NOT open for recreation. This will be actively enforced.

⚠️Our South Beach campus will operate in the same manner as usual, but please remember that fireworks are prohibited in the RV Park and South Beach Marina.

We wish everyone a safe and festive July 4th holiday! 🇺🇸
