The City of Kalama welcomes you to join our annual 4th of July event, "Kalama Summer Lights on the Fourth".

Live music, food trucks, a beer garden, and fun! This is a family-friendly event, with something for everyone.

Free Shuttle Service

It's back, and staying much later into the evening! A free shuttle is joining us to make it easier to park! We are working with Peak Tours and Transit to have 2 shuttles running throughout the event to an offsite parking location (thanks to Kalama School District). Park at Kalama's middle school parking lot (near the Chinook Stadium) for a climate-controlled ride down to the event at the waterfront. These vehicles can accommodate 13-15 passengers, with high ceilings and large tinted windows. Please no food or drink in the shuttles. There will be a sign with a QR code at both pickup/drop off points so that you can track where each shuttle is currently located and a phone number to contact the driver(s) as well. Transportation services are covered by the event, so there is NO COST for passengers! We look forward to partnering with Peak Tours and Transit for this year's event! Shuttles start running at 11:00am, and will continue until around midnight so event attendees can stick around for the fireworks! (shuttles will end around midnight)
