Boise 4th of July
Boise and the surrounding Treasure Valley is an active and bustling community. A long holiday weekend like this Fourth of July means we are going to be outside, in the sun, having as much fun as possible.
Boise Fireworks Display and Celebration
Spend the evening at the park and enjoy the free fireworks show synced to music on 107.1 Hank FM. Fireworks are scheduled to fill the sky starting around 10:15 p.m. (dusk) on the 4th of July, but festivities in Ann Morrison Park begin at 6 p.m.
Food and drink vendors will be on site with concessions available for purchase throughout the evening. This year's food trucks feature a variety of fresh fusion foods, sweet treats and summertime classics. Beer and wine will be available for purchase for those 21 and older.
While enjoying a picnic in the park, cool off in the Ann Morrison Park interactive fountain as the water feature displays red, white and blue lights.
Ann Morrison Park will be closed to vehicles all day on Thursday, July 4, 2024 but people who plan to watch the fireworks are still welcome to ride-share, walk or ride a bike into the park throughout the day.
