Downtown Bellevue has snap and pop on the Fourth
Posted by Nicole Tsong

The Bellevue Philharmonic accompanies fireworks from last year's Fourth of July celebration in downtown Bellevue.
Bellevue sure loves a patriotic party.
Much of Bellevue and the Eastside will be in downtown Bellevue Saturday, drawn by live music, a C-17 flyover from McChord Air Force Base and the grand finale: fireworks set to a live performance by the Bellevue Philharmonic. The annual Fourth of July celebration, which is expected to draw 60,000 or more, opens at 2 p.m. at Bellevue Downtown Park.
Look for the flyover around 4 p.m., while acts including country singer/songwriter Jonathan Harris and the tribute hits band Lenny Epps Revue will take the Overlake Hospital Main Stage. The Bellevue Philharmonic performances begins at 9:20 p.m., with fireworks at 10:05 p.m. The Bellevue Downtown Association web site has the full schedule and details.
Anyone have suggestions for parking besides after 6 p.m. at Bellevue Square?
