Stars, stripes, celebrations, the sweet aroma of hotdogs and firecrackers mingling in the evening air. The 4th of July is rapidly approaching and Boulder is gearing up for the nation’s 247th birthday.
The town’s annual observance will kick-off with a parade that departs from Veterans Park at noon and marches down Main Street. The sidewalk is a comfortable place to enjoy the show and score some soaring sweets, but groups and individuals with a hankering to participate are encouraged to join the procession. Anyone looking to be a part of the parade should meet at Veterans Park at 11:30 a.m. to begin lining up.
Immediately following the parade, the family fun will continue at The Jefferson County Fairgrounds, where the community is invited to enjoy the playground or take a spin on The Boulder River Carousel.
Lastly, no Independence Day would be complete without a display of explosions lighting the night sky. The Boulder Kiwanis Club is sponsoring a fireworks show produced by The Boulder Bull Mountain Volunteer Fire Department. Enjoy the demonstration with friends and family back at Veterans’ Park at dusk to cap-off what is sure to be a day to remember.
