Where to catch fireworks

In honor of Independence Day — falling on a Monday this year — fireworks will light the night skies over McMinnville, Willamina and St. Paul. 

The McMinnville display is slated for the grounds of the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum.

Family activities will precede the show at 5 p.m. Bands and food vendors have been booked for the occasion and museum admission is being discounted to $5 per person.

The fireworks will start at dusk, following a patriotic program featuring a veterans’ color guard.

Willamina will conclude two days of activities with a fireworks show on the West Valley Community Campus, site of the old high school. A downtown parade will precede the show at 6 p.m.

In St. Paul, fireworks will follow St. Paul Rodeo competition four straight nights, starting tonight. If skies are cloudless, they will be visible in Dayton and Newberg as well as St. Paul.
