Fireworks at Yaquina Bay – Newport

July 4th, 2010

Newport’s Fourth of July celebration always has some interesting aspects that other local celebrations don’t. Every year, thousands of tourists and residents gather to witness what may be the most dynamic display of fireworks in Oregon. The surrounding hills of Yaquina Bay create an unusual effect where the sound is bounced back and forth, tripling or quadrupling the explosion noises from the mortars.
