Clarkston School District Welcomes Community For Fourth Of July Fireworks Viewing - 06/26/26

Clarkston, WA – Clarkston School District is pleased to welcome community members back to Adams Field at Clarkston High School and the lawn at Parkway Elementary School as viewing locations for this year's Fourth of July fireworks celebration.

For the first time in several years, the District is opening these campuses to the public so families, friends, and neighbors can gather to enjoy the American 250th Anniversary fireworks display in a safe, family-friendly environment. These locations offer some of the best up-close views of the fireworks. Please note that no concert, food vendors, or activities are planned at these sites. Restroom facilities will be available in the west end building passageway at Clarkston High School.

The fireworks display is scheduled to begin at 10:00 p.m. Guests are encouraged to arrive early to find a comfortable viewing spot and enjoy the evening with family and friends.

"We're excited to once again open our campuses for this community tradition," said Superintendent Thaynan Knowlton. "We hope everyone enjoys a fun and memorable evening while helping us keep these facilities safe, clean, and welcoming for all."

To help ensure a positive experience for everyone, we ask guests to:

• Respect school property.
• Follow directions from event staff and public safety personnel.
• Help keep our campuses clean by taking all personal belongings and disposing of trash before leaving.
• Alcohol, tobacco products, vaping devices, illegal drugs, and other controlled substances are prohibited on school district property.
• Fireworks and firearms are prohibited on school district property.

Clarkston School District extends its sincere appreciation to Community Spirit for its continued dedication to providing this cherished Independence Day tradition for the Lewis-Clark Valley. The District also thanks the Clarkston Police Department and Clarkston Fire Department for their partnership in helping provide a safe environment for community members enjoying the fireworks from our campuses.

We look forward to welcoming our community for an enjoyable evening and wish everyone a safe and happy Fourth of July!
