Go 4th Festival Association

Having just recently discovered Longview /​Kelso, we were not that impressed with our local offerings for the Fourth of July celebrations (too lame /​too crowded) so we opted for a change in scenery and headed out to Longview figuring a city of that size should have something. Our server at Izzy’s recommended the GoFourth Festival and said it was a long standing tradition and a lot of fun, though parking is hell and it is crowded.
We arrived at about 8PM and easily found an ADA parking spot after one full pass of the area. Great spot that was close to all of the fun and easy to get in and out of as well. It paid to have an injured foot this year!!!
Great music, fun, food, and a nice family friendly event. Awesome police presence and crowd control. Nice mellow vibe, even though it was quite packed, was still relaxing and a fun place to people watch. One of the best fireworks displays we have seen in a long time.
Lake Sacajawea Park is beautiful! The perfect spot for such a great event. GOLD STAR for all that planned, worked, and organized this awesome festival!!! Job well done. No complaints at all.
Looking forward to making this our regular Fourth of July event!!!
