A
nywhere you are in Seattle, you'll find birthday parties for
the good ole U.S.A. And Seattle does it up right - from
huge fireworks displays to small-town parades and picnics
you will find celebrations of every kind and sort.
A long time Seattle favorite are the fireworks at Gas Works Park.
The popular 4th of July venue welcomes enough people to fill
almost every square inch of its 20.5 acres. This spectacular show
utilizes the breathtaking view of downtown Seattle as its backdrop,
while the pyrotechnical display is magically reflected on the waters
of Lake Union. Other family-friendly activities include musical
performances, contests, races, food booths and beer gardens.
Festivities begin at Noon at Gas Works Park, with a huge fireworks
extravaganza at 10:15 PM over Lake Union.
Touted as the Eastside's largest, the Bellevue Family 4th in
Bellevue Downtown Park offers music, kids entertainment, food
booths, a Community Spotlight Pavillion and a really nice fireworks
display at 10 PM. Festival hours are from 2 PM - 10:30 PM.
But don't limit your research to just these two - explore other
areas that may fit your patriotic agenda as well.
