Plenty of fireworks, cowboys, punk rock light up weekend 75+ concerts, events concerts July 1-7
There will plenty of fireworks in all directions this weekend for your colorful Fourth of July. Salem, McMinnville, Willamina, Independence, Keizer, Silverton and Corvallis are some of the patriotic towns that will host celebrations. Each has their own character, so get there early and enjoy the show.
This year marks the 75th St. Paul Rodeo, one of the best in the nation, going on all weekend. Don’t forget to stop in under the bleachers after the show.
The Wasteland hosts a high energy punk show not to be missed Saturday with Gruk, Adelitas, The Wobblies and The Angries. This is Gruk’s farewell tour and they’ll have plenty of help with some great local acts.
Have a memorable weekend and don’t forget to play it safe with your fireworks!
