North 45: 4th of July BBQ:
We here at North 45 love BBQ and big, loud fireworks. We can’t endorse the fireworks on our property, but our chef Bart can sure throw together a mean BBQ (and yes it is a sport to us). Join us all day Friday July 4th for our BBQ. The pub will open at 12pm and we’ll have Bart’s famous ribs, chicken, corn, beans, and a couple other special treats available for the whole family.

Watch Fireworks in Vancouver, Washington:
Better known as the Fort Vancouver fireworks festival, this is the largest fireworks display in the area and one of the largest fireworks displays west of the Mississippi.
