Fireworks over Yaquina Bay Bridge

Few fireworks settings rival Newport's, where the display bursts above the iconic Yaquina Bay Bridge. Gather along the bayfront on the central Oregon coast to watch the sky light up over one of the most recognizable landmarks on the coast.

It's a breathtaking, quintessentially Newport celebration. The historic bayfront — with its fishing boats, sea lions, and seafood markets — makes a lively spot to take it all in. Round out the visit with the Oregon Coast Aquarium and the beaches at Nye Beach for a perfect coastal weekend.
