The fireworks display will be positioned to provide the widest viewing angle possible so that people can watch from their homes on the hillside and spread out across the waterfront for a view of the skies above the river over Astoria.

Please be courteous when selecting a spot to watch the parade or the fireworks display. Please pack out what you bring in like food containers, sparklers and other garbage. We ask for everyone's help this holiday weekend to make this celebration a good experience.

Let's have a safe and legal blast on America's birthday. Reminder, only consumer fireworks obtained from an Oregon permitted retail stand, such as cones, fountains, and other ground-based fireworks are allowed. Please also consider your neighbors and  pets before deciding on when and where you choose to light legal fireworks.

Clean up efforts
Each year, volunteers come out as individuals or with a group in each of our communities to help clean up debris along the Warrenton parade route, Astoria riverwalk, Seaside beaches and more. Do your part by cleaning up your area when the parade or fireworks display is over, then bring your gloves and bag to be a part of this truly grassroots effort of community members on the morning of the 5th.

Several restaurants and breweries have hosted events in the past to celebrate the holiday, look for those additional events listed separately on this community calendar.

*****
On Monday, July 4, 2022 the fireworks show will be launched from a barge and will begin at 10 p.m. The display this year will be larger and higher than ever before to allow viewing from a larger area of town to avoid crowding along the Riverwalk. Ohana Media Group will be simulcasting patriotic music during the display on FM stations: Eagle 103.9, 102.3 KCRX and Clammy 99.7.
