Fourth of July Celebration at Bingen Point
The Port of Klickitat is glad to host the 4th of July DIY Fireworks event from 8 pm to 11 pm. This event would not be possible with out the support of the Bingen Fire Department, Appleton Fire Department, City of Bingen Public Works, City of White Salmon Public Works, the Bingen-White Salmon Police Dept, EMS, and the Klickitat County Reserve Deputies. Thank you to all of our volunteers.
The Port of Klickitat and the Cities of Bingen and White Salmon are working cooperatively to provide a safe designated area for residents to enjoy and use their fireworks. This area will reduce the threat of fire and injury to the citizens throughout both cities.
