The fourth of July can be a last-minute decision that you make just a couple of days before the firework display fills the night sky. The Ann Morrison Park fireworks have moved but that's not your only option.

    Expo Idaho

    The annual fireworks show at Ann Morrison park has been relocated for this year. The flooding levels may have gone down at the Boise River but the grass area of the park is soggy and not a fun place to set up camp all day long with the family as you get ready for the fireworks.

    Expo Idaho is the new place to go for those of us who plan to see the firework display at Ann Morrison every 4th of July.

    The gates open at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 4 and the show is scheduled to start at 10:15 p.m.

    Some guidelines for the night:

    • No personal fireworks or sparklers are allowed
    • Consider bringing the following items: water, sunscreen, bug spray, flashlight and a blanket or chair to sit on
    • No pets allowed
    • No coolers or backpacks
    • To help ensure a safe event, handbags will be searched
    • No re-entry allowed
    • Tailgating will not be permitted
    • Smoking is prohibited, except in designated areas

    Beer, wine and food is available for purchase from vendors who will be on site for the Independence Day celebration.

    Melaleuca Freedom Celebration

    The fireworks display in Idaho Falls is known as the largest one in the state. It has been 25 years and they challenge anyone in the west to beat the size of their firework display. Because of the 25th celebration, it's getting bigger!

    The fireworks will fill the night sky for 31 minutes all choreographed to music.

    Before you see the fireworks, you can fill your day with the Riverfest event where you can shop, play games and meet new people.
