4th of July Fireworks

Posted by: admin on 07/01/2008 09:30 AM
Birch Bay is a popular place to go for families to go on the 4th of July. Even though it does not have an official fireworks display, spectators can watch from 2 to 3 hours of private fireworks displays going on all around the beach. Many visitors and residents just set out chairs and watch the action.

Here are the times when fireworks can be used in Whatcom County:
June 28th - 12 noon to 11 pm
June 29th thru July 3rd - 9 am to 11 pm
July 4th - 9 am to midnight
July 5th - 9 am to 11 pm

If you plan on lighting fireworks on the beach at Birch Bay, please use caution. There are usually many adults and children on the beach and even the "safer" fireworks may go astray. Also, several types of fireworks from the reservation are illegal to possess outside of tribal lands - these include firecrackers, bottle rockets and missiles. The following are illegal anywhere: M-80s and up, cherry bombs, tennis ball bombs, pipe bombs, dynamite, and altered/homemade fireworks. Fireworks are prohibited in Birch Bay State Park. Please remember to pick-up all the debris.

Two local communities have organized fireworks displays on the 4th. Bellingham and Blaine both have fireworks shows over their waterfronts beginning at dusk (about 10:20 pm). If you plan to go, arrive early because parking can be crowded.

Happy 4th of July!
