Our community had celebrated July 4th at the Fort Vancouver National Site for 46 years. However, in 2009 the event had to be cancelled due to limited funding. This year the Fort Vancouver National Trust, with support from Bank of America and other partners, corporations and individuals, is working to bring a new July 4th event to our community: Independence Day at Fort Vancouver presented by Bank of America.
In order to make the new event economically sustainable, a nominal admission fee now will be charged to those ages 13 and older. Attendees will enjoy a renewed focus on family, community and fun. Returning to our roots, the celebration will culminate with a spectacular fireworks show launched from Pearson Field. Please join us in supporting this iconic event and help bring back Vancouver's Independence Day celebration!
