~ Idaho Falls plans to hold its 2027 Independence Day fireworks display at a new site along the Snake River, south of Freeman Park and north of John's Hole Bridge on the river's east side.

The city announced the location Nov. 12, saying it was selected after months of evaluating properties. The site has space for a large-scale display, infrastructure to support safe access and several potential viewing areas, according to the announcement.

Possible viewing locations include Freeman Park, Civitan Park and the Idaho Falls River Walk. The city said the fireworks may also be visible from nearby neighborhoods and downtown.

Mayor Lisa Burtenshaw said the city, Bonneville County and community partners are committed to making the 2027 celebration "just as spectacular and just as memorable" as previous events. She also thanked the Vandersloot and Ball families for their contributions to the Melaleuca Freedom Celebration.
