IDAHO FALLS — Despite the windy weather canceling the firework display, Idaho falls residents gathered outside in the chilly weather Friday night for the annual UTV Light Parade around the Snake River.

With a space for 400 UTVs to participate, the sound of engines roared throughout the evening, decked out in Christmas lights and decorations.

Multiple Santa Claus, grinches and other notable Christmas day icons were spotted in every other UTV, spreading Christmas cheer or tossing out candy for the kids in attendance.

While the windy weather made standing outside a bit uncomfortable, many wore blankets or watched inside their vehicles to stay warm.

The cancelation of the firework is being rescheduled for another date, according to a Facebook post from the City of Idaho Falls.

Here are photos from the event.
