Klamath Freedom Foundation to host Fourth of July Fireworks and Community Festival at Veteran’s Park in Downtown Klamath Falls

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. - Klamath Freedom Foundation is proud to announce that the Fourth of July fireworks display and community festival will return to Veterans Park this year. These events are a great way to honor local veterans and their families for their service to our country.

“Klamath Freedom began looking for a new location for the community festival this year after the exciting announcement of the expansion of the RV Park at the fairgrounds. We cannot thank the staff at the Klamath County Fairgrounds enough for their support during this process. The Fairgrounds has been an amazing host to our community’s fireworks celebration for many years. We are excited for the growth and success of the fairgrounds, but logistically it is time for a new location,” mentioned Mark Dodson, Klamath Freedom Foundation COO. 

Klamath Freedom Foundation will host a parade downtown on Main St at 10:00 AM, followed immediately by a concert in Veteran’s Park featuring The Community Band.

At 5:00 PM a community festival featuring vendors, food trucks, and live music at Veteran’s Park will be highlighted by the fireworks display at dusk over the water. Scheduled to play on the stage at Veteran’s Park are SLAP, King of Denial, and Arthur Buezo.

“We are excited to host the communities’ celebration on the Fourth of July, and to bring the fireworks back downtown over the water at Veteran’s Park this year,” said Mark Dodson, COO of Klamath Freedom Foundation. “The Fourth of July has always been a time to celebrate our freedoms and to honor those who have fought to protect it.”

All these events are free and open to the public. Klamath Freedom Foundation encourages everyone to come out and enjoy the show while honoring the sacrifices of so many.

The Klamath Freedom Foundation is a non-profit organization supporting local veteran’s groups, Sky Lakes Cancer Center, and Steen Sports Park by hosting patriotic events throughout our community. The foundation works to support all local veterans, active duty, and their families in Klamath County.

Parade and vendor applications are available on the Klamath Freedom Foundations website klamathfc.org.
