4th of July in Downtown Port Angeles

The first event will be the always popular Lawnmower Derby, scheduled to start at 6:00pm in the parking lot normally used for the Winter Ice Village ice rink, at 121 W Front Street. The Lawnmower Derby will last about two hours, and will consist of two or more qualifying heats and a final heat. After the derby, starting at 8:00pm, Black Diamond Junction will play a two-hour concert in the parking lot just east of Barhop Brewery and Artisan Pizza, at 120 W Railroad Avenue. Bleachers and seating will be available, but participants may want to bring their own chairs, blankets, and refreshments. At about 10:15pm, the annual fireworks show will begin, accompanied by music played on local radio station KONP, and should be visible throughout much of the city. The launch point for the fireworks will be the same as in 2020, just west of the Valley Creek estuary, west of Pebble Beach Park. Spectators are asked to stay away from the launch area. Funding for the annual Port Angeles 4th of July Community Celebration is provided by WAVE Broadband, Kitsap Bank, and the Port Angeles Chamber of Commerce.
