Is June really drawing to a close and the Fourth of July holiday just around the corner? While it may be hard to believe when the clouds still dominate most of our days, the sun, and the fireworks, are not far away.
Here are some of the 2017 Fourth of July fireworks shows and holiday events around Grays Harbor County, organized for you from A (Aberdeen) to W (Westport) and many letters in between.
Aberdeen/Hoquiam
Aberdeen’s annual waterfront Splash Festival happens on Tuesday, July 4. The day-long festival with inflatable games, rides, live music, food and craft vendors, and family entertainment begins at noon and runs until 5:00 p.m. at Morrison Waterfront Park. For the evening, the Splash Festival switches to Seaport Landing (the historic seaport on the opposite side of the Chehalis River) from 5:00 to 11:00 p.m. The fireworks display, which may be seen from either side of the river, begins at 10:00 p.m.
The tall ships (Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain) will be docked at the port for free (donations encouraged) onboard tours during the day and offering sailing excursions (for a fee) during the fireworks. Entertainment includes the Marlin James Band and the All in Band at the port as well as Son of Reptile Man, Trevor & Lorena, and Leapin’ Louie at the waterfront. Contact the City of Aberdeen Parks Department for more information at 360- 537-3229.
