The annual Kingston 4th of July Celebration could be without a fireworks show this year since the event lost its preferred vendor, chairman Tony Clark said.

The announcement goes on to say that finding an alternative fireworks vendor has been hard on short notice.

“If you know of any companies that have the capability to help us, we would certainly appreciate your introduction, but at this point we have exhausted our West Coast relationships with no luck,” Clark’s statement reads. “We will keep our fingers crossed that someone in our community may have a connection that can help source a last-minute solution.”

Poulsbo’s annual 3rd of July fireworks show on Liberty Bay was put to a halt last year after Viking Fest Corp., the group that put on the show, decided to focus on its two other annual events due to small staffing.

In lieu of not having fireworks this year, the Kingston 4th of July will encompass two days — July 3-4 — since the holiday falls on a Tuesday. There will be Music in the Park, food trucks, a Beer and Spirits Garden, the Ball Race, Tiny Town, the Parade down Highway 104 and more. The schedule of activities will be released in the coming weeks.

“We look forward to celebrating our nation’s independence with all of you,” Clark says in the statement. “No one celebrates quite like the town of Kingston. And that’s true with or without fireworks.”
