Happy FOURTH OF JULY
🇺🇸 From Astoria to Brookings, Oregon Coast communities are preparing for a festive Independence Day season filled with fireworks, parades, and family friendly celebrations.
July 4
Florence will host its annual fireworks show over the Siuslaw River. The 30 minute display begins at dusk, around 10:00 p.m., and is launched from a barge near the Port of Siuslaw Campground. The colorful show reflects off the river and is visible along Historic Old Town and the waterfront.
Lincoln City will once again celebrate Independence Day with a fireworks show over Devils Lake near Regatta Park. The city returned to traditional fireworks after trying a drone show the previous year, with the lake location selected to reduce impacts on wildlife and sensitive habitats around Siletz Bay.
Newport’s annual fireworks show will light up Yaquina Bay at 10:00 p.m. The 20 minute display will feature a special tribute to America’s 250th birthday.

The fireworks display lasts about 30 minutes and follows a full day of festivities, including Seaside’s traditional Fourth of July parade beginning at 1:00 p.m.
Rockaway Beach is expected to draw large crowds for its annual Fourth of July celebration. Fireworks will be launched directly from the beach at dusk, around 10:00 p.m. The town hosts a full day of family friendly activities, including an afternoon parade, bake sale, and the popular dachshund races.
On the South Coast, Brookings will host its famous Love Your 4th fireworks show.
