The 33rd Annual Melaleuca Freedom Celebration in Idaho Falls is the largest Independence Day fireworks show west of the Mississippi River. This year’s show will dazzle spectators with a high-flying, ground-shaking, adrenaline-filled fireworks display, averaging more than 610 fireworks per minute.
A Private Company Produces the Show
A private company, not a city or state, produces one of the largest fireworks shows in America. The day begins with a parade, helicopter rides, a river fest, vendor booths, and then the big show begins after 10pm.
Melaleuca Executive Chairman Frank VanderSloot said, “For the last 33 years, the Melaleuca Freedom Celebration has given families a way to gather, celebrate America and remember the price that has been paid for our freedom.” This year’s show will be the most powerful tribute to America’s 250th birthday.
