FOX 13 will broadcast Seafair Fourth of July fireworks show in Seattle

Published June 29, 2026 2:36 PM PDT

The Seafair 4th of July fireworks show returns this Saturday and will air live on FOX 13 Seattle.

What we know:

Last week, Seafair announced on Good Day Seattle that FOX 13 Seattle is the festival's new official broadcast partner. The station will televise and stream Seafair's three signature events this summer: the Seafair Fourth of July, the 2026 Alaska Airlines Seafair Torchlight Parade, and the Boeing Seafair Air Show and Apollo Mechanical Cup Hydroplane Races.

About 45,000 people are expected to gather between Gas Works Park and Lake Union Park for the fireworks.

Attendees planning to watch from Gas Works Park must secure a free ticket online at seafair.org to enter. Gates open at 3 p.m., and free tickets are valid for entry until 8 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis. Premium reserved seating is also available for purchase at both parks, which extends the Gas Works Park entry window until 10 p.m.

What's next:

On July 25, Seafair will bring the Alaska Airlines Torchlight Parade along the Seattle waterfront for the second consecutive year.

The evening will begin with the Torchlight Run at 6 p.m. Registration for the run has already increased significantly compared to last year. Following the run, spectators can visit Pier 62 for pre-parade entertainment, including a live DJ and a beer garden. The main parade will feature more than 100 units, including marching bands, local sports teams and traditional festival displays.

During the first weekend of August, the Boeing Seafair Air Show and Apollo Mechanical Cup Hydroplane Races will return to Lake Washington.
