I live in Poulsbo, Washington a small town located on the Liberty Bay. Poulsbo has their annual Fireworks on the Fjord event that is held on July 3rd. Throughout the day of July 3rd in downtown Poulsbo you can participate in fun family events such as a watermelon eating contest, a seed spitting contest (yes, SEED spitting), ice cream eating contest, carnival rides, and more. They have food and craft booths, live music at the pavilion, clog dancing, and the parade of boats on the bay. At 10:30 pm the firewoks begin and at 11pm they end. Admission and parking to this event is free.

On the afternoon of the 3rd of July my family visits downtown Poulsbo to participate in the Fireworks on the Fjord event, ride some great carnival rides, eat some great carnival food, and just have fun. In the evening of the 3rd of July, we all gather on the deck of our home to watch the fireworks over Liberty Bay as we have one of the best views of the event.
On the 4th of July we usually have a relaxing day at home watching the neighborhood fireworks.
