2025 Everett 4th of July Parade & Fireworks Show Information

Family enjoying the 4th of July parade last year.

Thanks to the efforts of local volunteers and sponsors, the Everett 4th of July Parade and Fireworks show both return in 2025. Below are the details of each event.

Everett Fourth of July Parade

When: 11 AM to 12:30 PM
Where: Starts on Colby Ave at 25th Street and loops around back through Wetmore Ave.
How: Park in Downtown Everett or park at Everett Station and take a shuttle to the parade route.

Last year’s parade route map should still apply:

We recommend arriving early and wearing red, white, and blue. Consider bringing a chair, seat curbside, or stand and enjoy the parade. Shaded spots will be at a premium.

Expect to see colorful floats, performance groups, marching bands, community groups, politicians, firetrucks, clowns, and sports teams.

The Everett 4th of July Foundation now puts on the parade. They are a local non-profit powered by passionate community volunteers.

Everett’s Fourth of July Festival

When: 3 PM to 12:30 PM
Where: Legion Memorial Park at 145 Alverson Blvd in Everett
How: No parking at Legion Memorial Park, so you’ll need to park for free at Everett Community College in Lot E, then take the free shuttle from Everett Transit to the park.

EDEN is a staple of the 4th of July Festival in Everett, Washington.

Head to Legion Memorial Park to enjoy a free music and grab a prime seat for the fireworks.

Everett’s iconic Thunder on the Bay fireworks show returns with an 18-minute fireworks show set to launch over Port Gardner Bay. Fireworks usually start at 10pm.

With Everett being a waterfront city, there are a bunch of great places to watch the fireworks. The best viewing locations are:

• Legion Memorial Park
• Grand Avenue Park
• Port of Everett
• Harborview Park

During the fireworks you can tune your radio to listen on KXA FM 101.1 or AM 1520 for a soundtrack to go with the fireworks.
