✨ Encore Showing Tonight! ✨
As the Grand Coulee Dam Area Chamber of Commerce, we want to sincerely apologize for the confusion and disappointment caused by the early fireworks launch last night, which unfortunately cut short the original laser light show.

Thanks to the support of the Bureau of Reclamation, we’re excited to offer a second chance to see the beloved 1989 original laser light show tonight, Saturday, July 5th at 10:00 PM. This special encore will play in place of the 2014 “One River, Many Voices” show.

📍 Best viewing and audio available at the Visitor Center park
📻 Tune in to 90.1 FM if watching from other locations

We’re grateful for your patience and understanding—and we hope tonight’s encore brings the magic you were looking forward to. 💫
