Tacoma Freedom Fair - July 4, 2009
From 10 AM until the fireworks end at about 10:30 PM
We are excited to be in our thirtieth year producing the Tacoma Freedom Fair on the Ruston Way waterfront. Whether this is your first year at Freedom Fair, or your thirtieth, we know there is something for everyone along the waters of the beautiful Commencement Bay. If you happen to see one of our dedicated volunteers as you enjoy the music, the air show, the International Marketplace, the Lost Boys Pirates Cove, or anything else that is a part of Freedom Fair, please let them know what their hard work means to you. Planning goes on year-round to help us ensure that you find all the entertainment and fun you could possibly want at Freedom Fair, and it’s the volunteers, first-responders, talented entertainers and hard-working vendors who make it happen. Have a wonderful time, and we hope to see you for many years to come!
Freedom Fair is not an event for pets. For health and safety concerns all pets should be left at home.

About the Voluntary Admission Donation
Visitors to Freedom Fair are asked to support the presentation of the festival this year and beyond with a voluntary admission donation. Suggested donations are $1 for kids under 18, $5 for adults age 18 and up, and $10 for families.
Your voluntary admission donations are greatly needed to help continue the tradition of family-oriented entertainment on the 4th of July. Please give generously to help offset expenses incurred by the volunteer-driven non-profit organization that has presented this event for 30 years. Without your generous donations at the gate it may not be possible to cover expenses or hold the Freedom Fair next year.
Pedestrian admission gates will be located on McCarver Street between 30th and Ruston Way, and on Alder Street at 36th Street.
