BOISE, Idaho — The day commemorating independence for the United States of America “ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other from this time forward forever more,” future President John Adams wrote to his wife, Abigail, in 1776.
Now, 246 years later, many of those traditions continue. Here’s a rundown of what’s happening in communities around southwestern Idaho and eastern Oregon to mark Independence Day. Start times for fireworks displays tend to be fluid, but they typically start between 10:15 and 10:30 p.m.
As of Wednesday, June 22, this guide continued to be a work in progress. More events will be added. If you know of a good one you don’t see here, email us! The address is ktvbnews@ktvb.com.
If you plan to celebrate with fireworks on your own, heed these safety reminders from the Boise Fire Department.
