Idaho Falls, Bonneville County name new launch site for 2027 Fourth of July fireworks
The parcel sits south of Freeman Park and north of John's Hole Bridge; the community celebration is set for Saturday, July 3, 2027
IDAHO FALLS - The City of Idaho Falls and Bonneville County have chosen a new launch site for the city's 2027 Independence Day fireworks, the city said in a news release posted Nov. 12. The site is a parcel south of Freeman Park and north of John's Hole Bridge on the east side of the Snake River.
The city said the parcel was picked after months of scouting. It has enough acreage for a large display, the infrastructure to move crowds in and out safely, and several viewing options. Possible viewing areas include Freeman Park, Civitan Park and the Idaho Falls River Walk, as well as nearby neighborhoods and downtown.
"I am excited to bring the celebration back to the heart of Idaho Falls," Mayor Lisa Burtenshaw said. She also thanked the Vandersloot and Ball families for the Melaleuca Freedom Celebration.
The community celebration, including the Greater Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce parade, is set for Saturday, July 3, 2027. The city did not give a cost for the show.
