2018 Melaleuca Freedom Celebration
If last year's numbers are any
indicator, you can expect to view
some amazing fireworks over the
Snake River along with 170,000
other spectators for the 26th annual
Melaleuca Freedom Celebration.
With 20,000-plus shells fired
in coordination with patriotic
music, this 30-minute annual
fireworks display is one of the
biggest and best on this side of the
Mississippi. 2018 marks the 26th
year of the celebration, and it's a
perfect way to wrap up the festivities
for the Fourth.
Held at Snake River Landing
north of Sunnyside Road,
the fireworks will begin at
approximately 10 p.m. Bring your
radio tuned to KLCE 97.3 FM.
