Tacoma's Fourth of July Freedom Fair Air Show and Fireworks Extravaganza

Tacoma's Annual Freedom Fair event covers two miles of Tacoma's Ruston Way waterfront each 4th of July. This annual event includes live entertainment performances featuring country, rock, folk, jazz, blues, Latin and folk in addition to music and dance. Everyone attending this annual extravaganza finds games, rides, kids carnivals, an open-air market with arts & crafts and an international food court in addition to about a zillion other wonderful and interesting things to occupy an entire family's festive expectations. In addition to all that, a log boom for boaters, a classic car show, Dragon Boat races and Metro Parks Family fun zones are available for a ton of enjoyment. Of special interest to thousands every year is the Tacoma Air Show, a spectacular display of aviation aerobatics and flying skills by private and military aircraft. Capping off the day is the spectacular Grand Finale Fireworks Display sponsored by the Puyallup Tribe of Indian's Emerald Queen Casino --- an event that will leave you breathless.
