Fireworks, grilled food, baseball, and lakefront leisure.

No other holiday encapsulates summer quite like 4th of July weekend in Bellevue - the largest Fourth of July celebration on Seattle's Eastside. The days are beautiful and the sun sets around 10 pm, so there's plenty of time to get outdoors, get under the sun, and get your summer on. From making a splash on Lake Washington and Sunday brunch in Old Bellevue, to cheering for the Seattle Mariners and catching nighttime fireworks, Bellevue delivers an July 4 weekend celebration that is all about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness - and all are always welcome. 

This year's celebration is even more special as communities across the country commemorate America's 250th anniversary.


FIREWORKS SHOW IN BELLEVUE

Get ready for July 4, because Bellevue's 33rd Annual Bellevue Family 4th is going to blow you out of the water. Centrally located at the Bellevue Downtown Park, the main event will have you grooving to the music and picnicking under the sun.
