The Treasure Valley really knows how to light up the sky for the 4th of July! From community festivals to big fireworks extravaganzas, there are plenty of places to gather with family and friends to celebrate Independence Day. Here’s a quick guide to some of the best spots to catch fireworks around Boise and beyond.

🎇 1. Ann Morrison Park – Boise’s Big Show

Ann Morrison Park is home to Boise’s largest and most iconic fireworks display. Thousands gather here every year for music, food trucks, and plenty of space to spread out a blanket. The show usually kicks off around 10:15 PM and reflects beautifully over the Boise River.

Tip: Arrive early — parking fills up fast, and the park becomes a sea of picnic blankets and lawn chairs by dusk.

🇺🇸 2. Meridian Independence Day Festival & Fireworks Show

Meridian puts on a family-friendly festival at Storey Park with live music, local vendors, kids’ activities, and an impressive fireworks display after dark. Bring snacks, chairs, and your best red, white, and blue outfit!

🎆 3. Eagle Fun Days Fireworks

Although Eagle’s big festival is technically before the 4th, many locals love the Eagle Fun Days celebration. The fireworks show usually takes place on the Saturday closest to Independence Day, featuring food trucks and a fun community vibe along the Boise River.

🎆 4. Caldwell 4th of July Celebration at Brothers Park

Caldwell knows how to do small-town charm right. Brothers Park is the place to be for music, food, family fun, and a fireworks show that lights up the western sky. It’s a perfect pick if you want a relaxed, community-focused celebration.

🎆 5. Star Independence Day Fireworks

The city of Star hosts a fantastic fireworks display each year at Hunters Creek Park. Local families gather early with coolers and blankets — there’s plenty of green space and usually a few local vendors to grab treats from before the sky lights up.

🎇 6. Other Local Favorites

If you’re up for a drive, smaller community shows pop up throughout the Treasure Valley, from Kuna to Middleton. Local high schools, fairgrounds, and city parks often host free shows — check city websites or community pages for this year’s details.

Tips for a Great Fireworks Night

  • Bring blankets or low chairs for comfort.

  • Pack snacks, water, and bug spray.

  • Arrive early for the best spot — popular parks fill up by sunset!

  • Be respectful of local rules and clean up your spot before you head home.

Wherever you choose to watch, have a safe and spectacular 4th of July under the Treasure Valley sky! 🇺🇸
