Seafair's Summer Fourth

July 4th, 2024

Amazon Seafair Summer Fourth is the best way to experience the 4th of July in the Pacific Northwest. Voted one of the nation’s best fireworks shows by USA TODAY and Business Insider, Summer Fourth takes place in one of the best natural amphitheaters to experience the power and artistry of fireworks. Summer Fourth features a fully choreographed fireworks presentation accompanied by a musical score and a host of pre-show activities during the day. Summer Fourth offers several free and reserved seating options and multiple vantage points to enjoy the show, Lake Union for an overhead view, Gas Works Park for a hilltop view, and Lake Union Park for a darker sky view. Each location offers its own unique experience.

Gas Works Park (2101 N Northlake Way, Seattle, WA 98103) - At the north end of Lake Union, Gas Works Park offers a fun-filled festival atmosphere with activities for the entire family. Gas Works Park features an elevated hilltop view of the show with a tremendous eye-level perspective. And don’t forget the food; Summer Fourth is guaranteed to have something for every palate. And if you get thirsty, there are beer gardens and hydration stations throughout the park. Parking is free, and there is also a bike corral for those who prefer an alternative mode to travel. Rideshare, carpooling, or public transportation is highly recommended.

Lake Union Park (860 Terry Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109) - At the south end of Lake Union, Lake Union Park provides the coolest setting to grab a drink, get a bite to eat, and enjoy the show. Lake Union Park features a darker sky view facing north, creating a spectacular array of color booming across Lake Union. Lake Union Park offers both free and reserved seating options.

We need volunteers to help us host this wildly popular Seattle tradition and assure the fireworks display runs safely. There are all types of duties including venue set up, take down, volunteer check in, ushering, information booth, security, first aid, runners, photography, social media, and behind the scenes operational duties. Make a difference in your community, volunteer with friends, and enjoy the fireworks show as the day’s grand finale!  

Groups welcome!

All volunteers will receive 2024 Seafair T-shirt.
