Independence Day at Fort Vancouver

This year is all about a bigger, brighter BOOM! End your Independence Day with a BANG at Vancouver’s Fireworks Spectacular! Pack a snack and a blanket, come to the Fort, and stake out your spot to watch the biggest fireworks show in the region.

We recommend community members start arriving after 6 pm in anticipation of a spectacular fireworks show beginning at 10:05 pm. Visitors should be aware that there will be no food vendor services on site at this year’s event. Visitors are encouraged to either eat before coming to the site, or to bring their own picnic dinner for the event.

Paid parking lots will be available to the east and west of Fort Vancouver National Site and all downtown metered parking is free for the holiday. ADA parking is free onsite along 5th Street for those with a valid ADA permit.
