Independence Day - Old Fashioned 4th of July - 2023

Visit Oak Harbor this July for a small-town community celebration that will welcome you with open arms.

Oak Harbor hosts a charming Independence Day celebration on the weekend leading up to the 4th of July. Expect to see a carnival, an old-fashioned street fair (complete with local food, arts, beer garden and community information booths), a car show, and the Chamber’s first Annual Whidbey Wags Pet Parade.

On the 4th of July, the community comes out in droves for the much-anticipated Annual Independence Day Parade and later for the fabulous fireworks display (seen from all over the bay) to wrap up the patriotic weekend!”
