Lincoln City’s City Council members are asking for input from the public about what the City should do for Fourth of July celebrations. The City invites residents and business owners to the Town Hall meeting to provide feedback on how they would like to see the Fourth of July celebrated.
Some of the questions the Council is looking for input on are:
What type of nighttime show should the City provide (if any)?
Should it be a multiple day celebration (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday)?
Should the celebration focus on a certain part of town (Taft), or spread out across the city?
There will also be an opportunity for the public to ask questions of City Council members and City staff.
In 2026, the United States will be celebrating the 250th anniversary of American Independence. This is a significant milestone in our country’s history. Lincoln City wants to be the backdrop where residents and visitors can come together to join in this historic celebration.
I enjoyed the drone show, quite, no pollution. Beautiful and entertaining.
Please have fireworks at the 2026 4th of July Celebration. I love fireworks so much and look forward to them every year. It brings back happy memories of my childhood and my life. Thank you for considering my request.
By the way, I moved to Lincoln City 7 years ago and I absolutely love living here. It’s a magical, wonderful and nice place to live!
We have enjoyed 4th July fireworks displays for many years from Taft boardwalk. Last year’s drone display was very underwhelming. We appreciate the desire to avoid debris and scaring dogs, etc, but if we move forward with drones they will need to be much improved to be impressive! Also, drone images need to be 3D otherwise they’re only readable from certain angles. Traditional fireworks are so much more exciting!
