July 4th is coming up quick. For those of you who have not experienced a this event in Portland, all bets are off and this place lights up ‘Bombs over Baghdad’. I saw on the news that they will take your fireworks if they catch you, so be careful kids. I can’t tell you about my secret location, but I can give some suggestions (and others have as well below).
Fireworks start at PGE park, Waterfront and Oaks between 9:50PM & 10PM.
Hawthorne Bridge
Mount Tabor
Rose Test Gardens
Pittock Mansion
Top of PSU parking garage on 6th and Harrison
Portland City Grille
PGE Park
Sellwood Park (website) you can see both Oaks Park and downtown from here
West Hills: Terwilliger near OHSU has many spots.
Blue Lake Park, (NE 223rd Ave and Marine Drive), fireworks begin at dusk. $10 per vehicle or $15 for large vans.
