Submitted by the San Juan Island Chamber of Commerce

Thanks to a generous matching grant from Kings Market and lodging tax funds from the Town of Friday Harbor, the San Juan Island Chamber of Commerce has once again commissioned Nick Gislason with the Lopez Community Fireworks, to design, setup and fire the 2017 Friday Harbor Fourth of July Fireworks display.

The 2017 fireworks display promises to be as good, if not better than last years! The display will start at 10 p.m., after a fun-filled day of Fourth of July festivities.

Lopez Community Fireworks is an all-volunteer team, with active members from Friday Harbor, Lopez and Orcas. The group first banded 31 years ago to pursue pyrotechnics as their collective art form, with the night sky as the canvas.

The fireworks team has developed unique fireworks effects over the years that have garnered numerous awards at the Pyrotechnics Guild International Fireworks Competition, with a pyrotechnic style that is uniquely traditional.

Donations are welcome, no matter how large or small.

Mail your contribution to San Juan Island Chamber of Commerce, PO Box 98, Friday Harbor, WA, 98250, or drop them off at our office at 165 1st Street S., on the corner of 1st and Sunshine Alley.
