Yeah, it's kind of a letdown regarding overall Eugene 4th of July celebrations, but I'm coming to terms with it. Pre-pandemic there was a paid wine thing down in Alton Baker that I never went to, but the fireworks were for people who paid to get it and it wasn't a city run thing. Coming from the midwest where that's like all the city government does really.

Also, just a note on the expectations of the race, those post race things are really for the runners and anyone who says they are a "festival" just putting a positive spin on it. No one is there except for runners and a few spectators/families. There are precious few races that attract enough spectators to really make it "a thing" outside the race crowds.
