Weather permitting, this year’s display is scheduled to light up the harbor beginning at approximately 9:15 PM on Tuesday, July 4th, with a rain date slated for Wednesday, July 5th.

Newport’s annual Fourth of July Fireworks display traces its history to a small but dedicated group of community members who volunteered their time to help celebrate our nation’s founding with a safe, family friendly atmosphere.

Where to View: For best viewing, be sure to find a westward facing spot along Newport Harbor. Popular viewing locations include Perrotti Park, King Park, and Queen Anne Square.
