The first Fort Dalles Fourth Independence Day celebration will take place in Lewis and Clark Festival Park in The Dalles on Friday. It will be the culmination of efforts by a local group to reestablish a Fourth of July celebration in The Dalles. The centerpiece will be the big fireworks show at dusk to be fired from a barge in the Columbia River, and it will be visible from most locations in the community. But there will be plenty of activity leading up to the fireworks, with a pancake breakfast at 7 a.m., the Rocket Run and Walk at 8 a.m., a parade at 10 a.m., and live music from noon until fireworks time with a family festival from noon to 5 p.m. For more information, go to FortDallesFourth.com
