July 4th Fireworks 2022 Near Portland

PORTLAND, OR — Cities and counties across the country continue to bring back many of the traditional Independence Day activities that were either canceled or modified the last two years. July 4 is just around the corner, so it's time to find out what Fourth of July fireworks and festivities are going on near you in 2022.

We have all the fireworks shows, parades and festivals happening in and around Portland so you can start planning now.

Here's what's in store the July 4th holiday weekend in and around Portland:

July 4 Festivities

What: Waterfront Blues Festival
Where: Tom McCall Waterfront Park
When: The festival runs from July 1 through July 4. It ends with fireworks around 10 p.m. the night of the 4th that can be seen from different areas around the region.

While the rain that has drowned dreams of the sun in June should be gone by July 4th, that also means that extreme heat could be back. The threat of very high temperatures and drought means that wildfires are a danger. As a result, many places, including Fort Vancouver, have canceled fireworks displays.

Due to pandemic surges, counties or cities may adjust or cancel events at the last minute, so double-check with organizers. Know of other events in the area? Post them on the Patch calendar.
