| Pasco’s Grand Old 4th of July Celebration - In keeping with Governor Jay Inslee’s phased in approach to re-opening Washington State, it is with regret that the Pasco City Council and staff have made the decision to cancel the 2020 Grand Old 4th of July Parade and the festivities surrounding the parade. The annual fireworks show is being postponed until a later date this year. Once an alternate date has been determined for the fireworks show, we will make an announcement. As difficult as this decision has been, Pasco Parks and Recreation Services has been working on alternative events to help celebrate the 4th of July.
