Fireworks show highlights Winston’s 4th of July

Winston’s fireworks show will shoot off 4,151 shells in a resounding 25 minutes on the Fourth of July, and the whole show will be choreographed to music.

The eye candy will spark, jingle, fly and explode from 9:45 p.m. at Riverbend Park, following a whole day’s worth of festivities.

The Oregon Coast Evolution Lab Band is performing prior to the fireworks at 7:30 p.m. The band is a youth music program based in North Bend. The musicians are 7 to 21 years old and their music style runs from swing to jazz, and rock to Dixieland, with a focus on big-band music. They also sing and dance.
