Hood River will host its annual 4th of July festivities, starting with a parade at 10 a.m., organized by the Hood River Lions Club. Fireworks will follow at 10 p.m. on the Hood River Waterfront.

“I implore you to keep your current laws which give you the right to shut down the use of fireworks,” said TNT Fireworks Area Manager Jason Simpson, of Eugene, who said sales should not be banned. “Safe and sane fireworks are glorified sparklers… they give law-abiding citizens a good option.”

The City of Dalles is enacting a fireworks ban in the city limits through July 9 because of the historic heatwave the region is currently undergoing. Multiple cities in the region, including Hood River, are following suit. The ban will have no effect on large aerial displays permitted by the state fire marshall in both The Dalles and Hood River.

The Mayor of White Salmon has declared an emergency and issued an order imposing a ban on the use of fireworks within White Salmon city limits for Sunday, July 4, 2021.
