Seafair Summer Fourth

Calendar/Event Details

The Seafair Summer Fourth is the best way to experience the 4th of July in the Pacific Northwest. Voted one of the nation’s best fireworks shows by USA TODAY and Business Insider, Summer Fourth takes place on Lake Union in one of the best natural amphitheaters to experience the power and artistry of fireworks. Summer Fourth features a fully choreographed fireworks presentation accompanied by a musical score and a host of pre-show activities during the day.

At the north end of Lake Union, Gas Works Park offers a fun-filled festival atmosphere with activities for the entire family. Gas Works Park features an elevated hilltop view of the show with a tremendous eye-level perspective.  The sound stage has live music and promotions throughout the day and at night, check out the glow-in-the-dark dance party before the blast-off ceremony. And don’t forget the food; Summer Fourth is guaranteed to have something for every palate. 

Gates open @ 3:00 pm. Fireworks @ 10:15 pm

Other vantage points include Lake Union for an overhead view and Lake Union Park for a darker sky view.
