Happy 4th of July Salem, Oregon! Fireworks and 4th of July Activities for the Weekend.

I was driving in to the office, which is right by Riverfront Park, yesterday and seen the set up going on for the carnival and events at the Waterfront. I don't know what it is about a carnival, but it makes me feel like a little kid again for a few minutes. I get that happy, oh I want to go, feeling. If you are doing a "staycation" this 4th of July weekend, there are a few options for 4th of July celebrations right around here.

Saturday and Sunday

Volcanoes Stadium: Games start at 7:05 and fireworks follow the game. 6700 Field of Dreams Way NE, Keizer.
