Seattle 4th of July Celebration at Gasworks Park

The largest 4th of July event in Seattle every year is the Family Fourth fireworks display at Gasworks Park on Lake Union.

With the amazing Seattle Space Needle and skyline as a backdrop you can enjoy enjoy a vivid display of fireworks floating in the black sky over the lake. It starts at 10 p.m. but most people will go plenty early to get a place on the Dome which acts like a natural amphitheater seating for the event. If you take along a supper picnic the kids will be running and playing as a group long before it’s dark enough for the fireworks show to start. This year the weather report looks good!

Last year Seattle came together in response to a fundraising shortage and “saved” the event from being cancelled with donations and getting together to make it happen. This year the fundraising goal was reached early on, and the plans are under way for the big event. Other activities at Gasworks Park that day include the Kid’s Playfield from noon to 8, with face painting, climbing walls, kite making, an inflatable play center and kickball, and for the adults, live music, a beer garden, food vendors with the traditional hot dogs, roasted corn, etc., or bring your own but no alcoholic beverages. Fireworks begin at 10 p.m,!
