There are more than100 community fireworks displays in Washington State, all celebrating the Fourth of July. Shows that are produced by trained professionals display spectacular productions illuminated with vibrant colors. Many times these shows are accompanied by patriotic soundtracks, or are televised live such as the Family Fourth at Lake Union.

When attending a public display, be sure to sit a safe distance away from the firing area. After the show, be sure children do not pick up any fireworks debris that they find on the ground – they may still be active and could cause serious injury.
