In Short
Ready to be amazed? Head to Lake Union and see one of the most elaborate firework shows in the world, perfectly choreographed to all types of music, from opera to rock and roll. What's happening before the fireworks? Kids will go wild with all the options: a Lego building block city, a 24-foot climbing wall, an inflatable obstacle course, chalk-art area, tie-dye booth and wild salmon art project.

Insider Tips
No dogs or bottles of alcohol are allowed at the event--but there is a beer garden.
Personal barbecues are not allowed in Gasworks Park, but you can still grill. Bring the fixins' and find some space on one of the six community barbecue pits.
Finding a spot around Gasworks can be a nighmare. Ride your bike along the Burke Gilman, take the bus, or park blocks away and hoof it in.

WAMU Family Fourth
Although the fireworks are great, the festivities at Lake Union stink big time. Not only did my husband & I tried to find parking for 2 hours, 11am to 1pm, just for the activities at Lake Union, the planners didn't provide enough parking spaces. It was nice when they had the festivities at Myrtle Edwards Park, because Seattleites could enjoy either/or places. But when the planners rid the stuff down at Myrtle Edwards Park this 4th of July, 2006, it became more crowded at Gas Works Park and parking became scarce. Way to go, Morons!
