2008 WaMu Family 4th!

Plans for the 2008 WaMu Family 4th at Lake Union are well underway! This Seattle spectacle has been hailed by TIME Magazine as one of the "Top Five Fireworks Displays" in the country. This free admission, family-friendly celebration is in its 20th year of bringing together the local community on our nation's birthday for a unique day of commemoration.

The WaMu Family 4th festivities kick off Friday at noon with family activities throughout the park grounds, food vendors catering to the most diverse palates, and a beer garden with a lake view. The evening programming begins at 10 PM, with an awe-inspiring fireworks show created by master pyrotechnic designer, Eric Tucker of PPA Spectaculars.

WaMu Family 4th consistently wows audience members with innovative and technologically advanced fireworks handpicked from around the world and set against the natural amphitheater of Lake Union. The fireworks show is perfectly synchronized to an inspiring score of traditional anthems, favorite oldies, and current hits, which you can hear throughout the park on our concert quality sound system.

For those who can't make it down to the park, tuning into KING 5 TV to view the fireworks provides a front row seat to the show. Patriots and partygoers watching from around Lake Union can get the full experience by listening to the simulcast of the musical score on KISS 106.1 FM, JACK 96.5 FM, or KZOK 102.5 FM.

Be sure to stay tuned for updates on the 2008 WaMu Family 4th!
