Port of Klickitat Cancels DIY Fireworks Event

The Port of Klickitat announced it has cancelled the annual July 4 do-it-yourself fireworks event at Bingen Point.  The event that allowed people to use fireworks in a safe, monitored location has been a tradition since it was established in 2004.  Crowds of over 50 people are not permitted in Washington until a County is placed in Phase 4 of reopening, and Klickitat County is in Phase 2 and could not enter Phase 4 by the Fourth of July holiday even under perfect conditions.  Port Commissioners also indicated a jump in new cases that appear to be the result of Memorial Day activities were also a factor in that decision.  Port of Klickitat Executive Director Marc Thornsbury did say they look forward to holding the event in 2021.
