Clean up efforts
Each year, volunteers come out as individuals or with a group in each of our communities to help clean up debris along the Warrenton parade route, Astoria riverwalk, Seaside beaches and more. Do your part by cleaning up your area when the parade or fireworks display is over, then come out and join this truly grassroots effort of community members on the morning of the 5th. Our chamber staff will be on the patrol starting at 8 a.m. Join us!Several restaurants and breweries have hosted events in the past to celebrate the holiday. We’ll add those here when 2024 details are announced. Click here for our community calendar.
2024 Warrenton Old-Fashioned Fourth of July Parade
ROCKIN in the USA…….ROCKIN at the WARRENTON PARADE….
Spruce Up Warrenton is proud to once again hosts this year’s annual parade, sponsored by the City of Warrenton.The Warrenton Volunteer Firefighters Association will be hosting their annual BBQ of hamburgers and hotdogs, free of charge (donations welcome) prior to the parade. The car show is back and will once again be held at Robinson Community Park. Floats, clowns, horses and more, what better way to spend a day?!
The parade will occur on July 4 at 3 p.m. The parade, coordinated by Spruce Up Warrenton, will follow a route along Main Avenue from First to Ninth, turning west on Ninth to SW Cedar and ending at the Warrenton Grade School.
North Coast Equestrian Trails will be riding and showing horses in the parade. Find them afterwards in the park to meet the horses and learn more about them. (Please do not approach the horses before or during the parade as this can spook the horses.)
Interested businesses, organizations and individuals are welcome to apply to have an entry in the parade by filling out the application at this link.
The parade committee, which includes Spruce Up Warrenton and other volunteers, can be contacted by sending an Email to spruceupwarrenton@gmail.com.
Fireworks to Light up the Sky on the Fourth of July 2024
Businesses collaborate to fund public display in Astoria.
The show will go on! More than TWENTY corporate partners and individuals have joined forces once again to hold the annual 4th of July fireworks display. The fireworks will be shot from a barge in the river near downtown Astoria to provide a multitude of great vantage points for spectators to enjoy the show from a safe distance.
With the continued leadership from Bob Dorn of Hyak Tongue Point and Willis Van Dusen of Van Dusen Beverages, the fireworks display and related expenses are completely paid for by business contributions. In recent years, they raised funds for a bigger show than we have ever had in Astoria and the 2024 show will be just as spectacular.
“Our goal is to celebrate our community with this long-standing and beloved tradition,” said Bob Dorn.
On Thursday, July 4, 2024 the show will be launched from a barge and will begin at 10 p.m. The display this year will be placed in the river near downtown Astoria to allow viewing from a large area of town to avoid crowding along the Riverwalk. Ohana Media Group will be simulcasting patriotic music during the display on Eagle Country 103.9 FM.
“The Chamber is honored to have the support from these business partners to keep this annual event on the calendar,” said Executive Director David Reid. “By offering a public display, we hope to cut down on personal fireworks displays which become a fire and safety hazard on our area beaches, as well.”
We encourage our community to continue to find safe ways to celebrate Independence Day this year and look to skies with us on the 4th of July.
