What Oregon cities have banned fireworks? Which Fourth of July events are still on?
Extreme drought conditions, high fire danger, tinder-like fuels and other wildfire concerns have prompted many Oregon and southwest Washington jurisdictions to ban the use of fireworks through the Fourth of July holiday. Oregon has long banned fireworks that fly, explode or travel more than six feet on the ground or 12 inches into the air. That doesnt stop some residents from purchasing such fireworks in other states and shooting them off in Oregon, however. Because of the high fire danger, many agencies have banned even legal fireworks this season. Meanwhile, many holiday events  including the St. Paul Rodeo and Waterfront Blues Festival  are still on. Other events  including Fort Vancouvers big fireworks display  have been canceled. View this list for a rundown of holiday events. See a compilation of fireworks bans below.
