Fireworks Shows Sunday in Chelan and Monday in Manson

by Dennis Rahm

It’s hard to find a setting more beautiful than the Lake Chelan Valley from which to celebrate Independence Day weekend with two major, professionally produced fireworks shows.

The fun starts on Sunday night with Chelan’s Rockin 3rd of July Fireworks Show presented by the Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by Vin du Lac Winery. Fireworks will light up the sky above Lake Chelan starting at 10:00 p.m. Sunday night from a barge anchored off Don Morse Park.

There are a number of excellent viewing locations including Don Morse Park, Lakeside Park, Vin du Lac Winery, from a boat on the water as well as other locations around the lower end of the lake. For those unable to watch in person, LakeChelanNow will be livestreaming the show on Facebook.

The fun shifts to Manson on Monday for the 43rd annual Fireworks show and Independence Day celebration sponsored by the Manson Chamber of Commerce. The fireworks display Monday night will begin at 10:15 p.m., but come early to Manson Bay Park and enjoy the live music of the Lakeboys starting at 7:00 p.m. Like Chelan, there are a number of excellent viewing locations to watch the Manson show including, of course, Manson Bay Park.
