Frequently Asked Questions

WILL THERE BE FIREWORKS THIS YEAR?

The answer is simply yes if the fire conditions permit.

WHERE ARE THE FIREWORKS

Lake Siskiyou!

IS THERE A CHANCE THAT THE FIREWORKS SHOW COULD CHANGE?

Yes, if the fire conditions are such that our permit gets cancelled.

WHAT TIME WILL THE FIREWORKS BEGIN?

The show starts at 9:45pm depending on current wind conditions and final approval from the Fire Department.

Where is the best place to watch?

PLEASE NOTE: Mt. Shasta Resort will not be open for viewing the show. For more information please see this Facebook Post.

There are several places to watch the show. One of the best views is on the beach at Lake Siskiyou. The Lake Siskiyou Campground has added parking capacity for day use! We highly recommend coming early, brining a picnic and making a day of it!

If you have a boat and are a little adventurous, on Lake Siskiyou itself is one of the best places to be! However, you must follow all directions provided below, including ensuring your vessel is outside of the fallout zone. You must follow all directions from the Sheriff boat patrol. The lake is part of our safety zone and it is highly likely that burning debris will land within the fallout zone. The show will not start or will be stopped if the zone is not clear. These regulations are governed by the Office of the State Fire Marshal. Don’t be “That Guy”…

Why is north shore road closed on the 4th?

As part of our Use Permit with Siskiyou County, we are required to close the road from 6am until after the show. This means that if North Shore Road isn’t closed, there’s no fireworks for the 4th of July. Any unauthorized vehicle on North Shore Road on the 4th of July, after 6am will be asked to leave. This is for our safety in the event that there’s a problem. Could you imagine if we had to get emergency vehicles on that road with a thousand cars back there?

Is the walking trail open during the day?

Yes! However, we ask that you stay on the path between the North Shore Meadow and Wagon Creek Bridge. The Spini Point parking area is part of the firing site and completely closed to unauthorized personnel. At 5 pm, the walking trail is closed in its entirety from the delta bridges to the Wagon Creek Bridge. This will be strictly enforced by security, the Siskiyou County Sheriff, California Highway Patrol and CalFire. After 5pm, all the fireworks are wired and considered ‘hot’. Please note, you cannot see the show from Wagon Creek Bridge. Understand that the fireworks cannot commence with unauthorized personnel in this area. Again, our Use Permit with Siskiyou County requires the North Shore of Lake Siskiyou to be closed to ALL spectator access. This is for your safety and the safety of emergency services.

Will there be music with the show?

Yes, there are 2 options. You can download the Pryocast App from your App Store and type in GXNB for the show ID and when we start the show the music will begin. Second option you can tune your FM Radio tuned into Z100 FM. If you use the radio ‘app’ on your phone or tablet, there will be a time delay. Please turn the volume down so only you and your friends can hear the music. Many people love the sound of the shells reverberating through the mountains. This year’s firework display has been choreographed to a sound track that adds a broader dimension to the show for more impact.

Can I take my boat out on Lake siskiyou and where should i be to watch the show?

Please follow the instructions on the map and the directions from the Sheriffs boat patrol.
