Newcastle's annual Fourth of July fireworks show is canceled, but that doesn't mean your neighbors want you to re-create it in your front yard. Police Chief Jason Houck wants to remind you that fireworks are banned in the City of Newcastle. Chief Houck and our Officers LOVE you guys. But they REALLLLY don't want to show up as uninvited guests to your Fourth of July party this year. Call 206-296-3311 to report illegal fireworks activity.

COVID-19 forced the cancellation of our beloved fireworks show, so instead, we're asking neighborhoods to decorate their sidewalks and driveways with chalk fireworks to celebrate Independence Day this year. Learn more about our upcoming free chalk/mask distribution events at newcastlewa.gov/chalknewcastle.
