The City of North Bend said on August 5 that the annual fireworks show scheduled for Saturday, August 8, had been canceled in partnership with Eastside Fire and Rescue. (northbendwa.gov) The city said “all other Festival at Mt Si activities” would continue for the full weekend. Eastside Fire and Rescue was cited by the city in that cancellation notice, which said fire conditions in North Bend and across Washington were dynamic. (festivalatmtsi.org) The city did not announce broader festival cancellations in the notice. ### Where in town will visitors find the main activity? Si View Park, at 400 SE Orchard Drive, is identified by the city as a recurring venue for major summer community events, and the festival website names it as the main location for the Festival at Mt. (northbendwa.gov) Si. Downtown North Bend is also part of the footprint through Friday night’s crawl. North Bend sits east of Seattle in the Snoqualmie Valley near Mount Si trail access and other outdoor recreation, which helps explain why the festival is often paired with a day trip or weekend outing. (northbendwa.gov) That location detail comes from the city’s tourism and municipal pages, which position North Bend as a visitor base for local hiking and downtown events. ### Where should people check before they go? The Festival at Mt. (festivalatmtsi.org) Si website says the full lineup and schedule are still being updated, and the city has already posted one major change with the cancellation of Saturday fireworks. That makes the official festival site and City of North Bend updates the best places to check for final timing and activity details before arrival. Friday’s opening events begin on August 7, and the festival is scheduled to continue through Sunday, August 9, at Si View Park and downtown North Bend, according to the city and festival organizers.
