IDAHO FALLS — Idaho Falls, Bonneville County and local business representatives are holding a news conference to announce the location of next year’s Idaho Falls 2027 Independence Day Celebration.
The news conference is being livestreamed at 2:30 p.m. Thursday from the steps of Idaho Falls City Hall.
The Idaho Falls 2027 Independence Day Celebration is expected to replace the Melaleuca Freedom Celebration, which has been a community tradition since 1992.
In June, Melaleuca Executive Chairman Frank VanderSloot announced that 2026 would be the last Melaleuca Freedom Celebration, as space was becoming scarce at Snake River Landing, where the fireworks have been held since 2017. Prior to that, the fireworks were held along the Idaho Falls Greenbelt Riverwalk near the Shilo Inn.
