CAPITOL CELEBRATION

Celebrate America250 on July 4 at the Idaho State Capitol.

On July 4th, history takes center stage in Boise. To mark the nation’s historic 250th anniversary, the America250 in Idaho Advisory Council invites you to a spectacular, free, and family-friendly community celebration on the State Capitol steps and Cecil Andrus Park.

Kicking off immediately following the Veterans Entrepreneur Pancake Breakfast and 4th of July Parade downtown, this once-in-a-generation celebration honors our shared history, celebrates Idaho’s communities, and inspires the future.
