The Chamber is thrilled to report that our annual Fourth of July Fireworks show in Eastsound is in-place and ready to go on Friday, July 4! We should have a bang-up show, all originating in the waters of East Sound, starting at approximately 10 pm. Viewing from the Waterfront Park and surrounding areas will be amazing. The Chamber knows the annual pyrotechnics show is an invaluable event that attracts visitors to the island (and delights islanders of all ages).

As you no doubt know, the cost of putting on a fireworks show has increased over the years. With stricter marine & Homeland Security regulations, and a barge rental charge, the Chamber no longer can absorb the cost into its operations budget.

We need your help! Please be a sponsor or donor for this year’s show and help insure that we can continue the fireworks tradition in the years to come.

Sponsor Levels

• Gold Level ($500+)
• Silver Level ($250+)
