Thousands attended Joint Base Lewis-McChord's Freedom Fest at Memorial and Cowan stadiums.
"I've been coming here since 1995," Kingsley Hoover, owner of King's Original Kettle Korn, said as he and Ryan Whittington stirred a large kettle of popcorn.
"And it's great to be here on the Fourth. I love this place."
While vendors offered everything from food and drink to balloons and T-shirts, the infield of Cowan Stadium was covered with classic cars.
"This event is a lot of fun to come and see these classics," Wendy Minnieweather said as she cleaned the engine of her 2005 Mustang Coupe.
"I can't get enough of this place."
