Fireworks Show Returns to Top Off the Fourth of July 
Day of Celebration in Lincoln City

Fireworks will return to the night sky over Lincoln City this Fourth of July, as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday. Along with the fireworks show, scattered throughout the town, there will be a pet parade, a pie eating contest, live music, and food vendors.

Vets, Pets, & Pie!
Start the day at the Lincoln City Community Center for Vets, Pets, & Pie! from 10 am to 12 noon. Enter your best pie for judging, join the pie eating contest and walk your pet in the pet parade. Best pies and pets will receive a prize. Veterans receive free entry to the Community Center all day, and a special gift from Lincoln City Parks & Recreation. The Community Center is located at 2150 NE Oar Pl.

Stars, Stripes, and Wildlife
The Taft District will be the location for Stars, Stripes, and Wildlife. Here you will be able to experience music, local flavors, and family fun celebrating the wildlife, ecosystems, and natural beauty of Siletz Bay. Festivities start at 12 noon with live music, a food truck, a beer garden, fun giveaways, and local partners on hand to share knowledge about Siletz Bay wildlife and the natural surroundings of the bay and ocean. Events will be taking place on SW 51st turn around area in Taft.

Parking for the Stars, Stripes and Wildlife will be in the public parking areas throughout Lincoln City’s Taft District. Event parking at Taft High School will be open at 11:00 am. A shuttle service will make rounds from Taft High School to the event site until 6:00 pm.

Fireworks Over Devils Lake
To cap off the night, Lincoln City will be hosting a professional firework display over Devils Lake. The launch site will be near Regatta Park. Parking is very limited at the park, which will be closed off to vehicles at 6:00 pm. A shuttle service will be provided to Regatta Park, with parking available at the Lincoln City Community Center.
