Seattle’s Family 4th at Lake Union July 4, 2010

eattle’s Family 4th fireworks display is nationally acknowledged as one of the best in the country. The innovative and technologically advanced fireworks are set against the natural amphitheater of Lake Union and are synchronized to an inspiring score of traditional anthems and popular favorites. Time magazine has called the Family 4th at Lake Union one of the Top Five fireworks displays in the country.

The fireworks show, which starts at approximately 10 pm, is loaded with the highest quality shells selected from top fireworks manufacturers around the globe—from Italian electrical storms to shells suspended by parachutes. The innovative technology, combined with the artistry of master pyrotechnic designer Eric Tucker of Pyro Spectaculars, guarantees that every Family 4th fireworks display will be a new work of art.

The fireworks are perfectly synchronized to a unique musical score featuring a mix of popular, patriotic and celebration themed songs. This year, the fireworks soundtrack will also reflect the unique circumstances surrounding the outpouring of community support that saved the celebration, and will therefore feature songs about gratitude, friendship and overcoming obstacles! If you're enjoying the fireworks from vantage points around Lake Union, listen to the display's musical score as it is simulcast exclusively on 97.3 KIRO FM.
