Great Falls Foundation to Make the Sky Dance This Fourth of July

In a little less than a month, America will be celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the Country.  Events will be bit more festively decorated, signs will be a little more colorful and events will be that and much more with the spirit of independence.

In Great Falls, there will be many of those festivities happening for the 4th of July weekend; albeit they might not have as much bang to them with the new fireworks rules the city passed in 2025.  But it doesn't mean there won't be some major booms and massive, colorful displays happening when the sun sets and darkness begins.
