VANCOUVER, WA (June 21, 2018) — This Fourth of July Vancouver will be treated to the largest and most memorable fireworks display in the region. Fireworks at Vancouver’s Fireworks Spectacular presented by Columbia Credit Union will launch up to 500 feet high, cover a radius of 500 feet, and include unique special effects. The 20-minute show will feature about 25% more fireworks and 50% more big shells than last year.
“Vancouver’s Fireworks Spectacular will feature the best of the best fireworks available” says Heather Gobet of Western Display. “Western Display goes to tradeshows all across the globe to bring new and exciting fireworks from internationally-award winning manufacturers to our community.” Western Display produces over 350 shows annually, including some of the largest and most critically-acclaimed in the United States.
The fireworks show is designed on a computer program to synch with a custom playlist. Special effects will include component shells, tourbillions, hummers, flying dragons, crosettes, and more. “We are particularly excited about the new pastel colors and stain glass shells in this year’s show,” adds Gobet.
Fireworks will start promptly at 10:05pm. Vehicle access onsite will be restricted July 4th and security gates will be in place. We recommend community members start arriving after 6pm. Guests can ride C-TRAN for free with shuttles running every 15 minutes from two transit stations, Fisher’s Landing Transit Center and 99th Street Transit Center, with return service after the firework show.
Admission to Vancouver’s Fireworks Spectacular presented by Columbia Credit Union is free. Donations will be collected at the gates from those who wish to contribute to the event, with a portion of all proceeds supporting the Lower Columbia Veterans Coalition, a collective made up of the Community Military Appreciation Coalition (CMAC), Vancouver Barracks Military Association (VBMA), Combat Veterans International Chapter 9 (CVI), Buffalo Soldiers – Moses Williams Pacific Northwest Chapter (Buffalo Soldiers), and Special Forces Association (SFA).
This event would not be possible without the generous financial support of sponsors. The Historic Trust and the City of Vancouver thank presenting sponsor Columbia Credit Union; event media partners KGW, 98.7 The Bull, Comcast, and The Columbian; and community sponsors C-TRAN, Waste Connections, AMR, Vancouver Mall, Homewood Suites, and ADCO Printing & Graphics.
