Tacoma Freedom Fair - July 4
From 10 AM until the fireworks end at about 10:30 PM
Freedom Fair 2010 is now a memory, and would not have been a reality without the dedicated efforts of some 200 volunteers, some working year-round on planning, others working in the days before and during the event. Whether this was your first year at Freedom Fair, or your thirtieth, we hope you found something to delight you along the waters of the beautiful Commencement Bay. 100,000 people enjoyed the music, the air show, the International Marketplace, Pirates Cove, the many other activities that are a part of Freedom Fair. 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. We hope to see you for many years to come at the Tacoma Freedom Fair!
