4th Concerts On The Pier
4th Of July Celebration
The Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce is delighted to announce Wave Broadband has once again confirmed their role as the presenting sponsor for the Port Angeles 4th of July celebration. This financial commitment from Wave allows the community to experience a terrific firework show which takes place over the picturesque Port Angeles waterfront. The firework crew will set up again this year as they have for the past several years at Francis Street Park. This does make it necessary to close the waterfront trail from the Rayonier access point and also a few hundred yards east of The Red Lion Hotel to insure the safety of the public. Best viewing areas for the show which takes place a little after 10PM are from City Pier or from the waterfront trail.
The chamber is delighted to promote the festivities of Independence Day starting with a parade at 6PM. The parade heads down Lincoln and then turns on First Street and entertains the crowd all through downtown where it ends at Valley Street. The parade is sponsored by Kitsap Bank who provides the staff to accept applications leading up to the 4th and then organizes all the participants. The chamber provides sound systems and announcers at Veteran’s Park, Laurel Street Fountain, and at the corner of Oak and First. Applications are available at Kitsap Bank, at the Visitor Center or downlode here.
Then at 7PM the attention shifts to the bands sponsored by Betsy Reed Schultz as her personal thank you to all of the people who have worked and continue to support Captain Joseph House in make this dream happen to help the Gold Star Families of Fallen military men and women.
At 7:00 pm the band Luck of the Draw will play Contemporary Acoustic Rock and at 8:30 pm the Missy G band will perform Country Western.
Over the years the music has ranged from classic rock and roll to bagpipers and the goal is to have fun. The music offers a great reason to stay downtown and enjoy the summer evening until 10PM when the much anticipated firework show lights up the sky.
