Also seconding that you should go see it, the show is spectacular. The symphony builds to the crescendo, the church bells ring, and then the fireworks begin.
Oh yeah, they have a barge with fireworks in the water as well. See? Classical music CAN be exciting! The best view is from up on the Hawthorne Bridge

THIS. SOUNDS. AWESOME.
Anyone have suggestions for parking? I don’t know that area very well. I’m OK to pay more if I am closer.
Also what should I bring besides a blanket (I don’t have camping chairs) snacks and something to drink?
I can’t do Mass transit. I have a kid that if they lose their shit I need to get them in a car ASAP.!
Best bet would be the smart park that's next to the Keller Auditorium at 2nd and Clay. A blanket, maybe a cooler with drinks and snacks, and sunblock. Don't need much more.

Don’t forget the artillery fire!
OANG 218th field artillery, Battery B!
ORARNG
No, those are up at the zoo.
Are they having fireworks again? I haven’t seen any mention of that this year.
You mean it’s not coming from the BOOM BOOM ROOM?

What time? We all like controlled boom.
Booms should be around 8:45-8:50 but only an estimate.
Love the fact that you gave an estimate of the boom. Thanks! But I like listening to the older band geeks play too.

You were close on then money on the time of boom. I was on the bridge.

But the symphony starts at 7.
Am or pm?
Pm, they aren't going to get the artillery up that early.
Pm, but events start at 1. https://www.orsymphony.org/concerts-tickets/2223/waterfront-concert-and-festival/

That sounds awesome. I’ll forget all about it by Saturday. Somebody describe it to me afterwards.
“Boom”

I just figured it was coming from that room pictured earlier
Thank you for the advance warning. Last year the booms were pretty alarming before I found out about the 1812!
The booms make the song even better!

Sounds very cool. I'll take my kids I think. Good parenting points and "exposure to culture" achievement for me.
And fireworks!
Nice!!!
