City of Rexburg

We're so excited for the Rexburg 4th of July parade to sprinkle some star-spangled cheer on our streets this week! A heads-up: if you start decorating City property—like parks, sidewalks, streets, or alleys—with things like blankets, chairs, or coolers before 6:00 pm on July 3rd, our City crews will turn it into a game of finders keeprs, collecting your goodies to stash away until you can retrie them after the holiday. Keeping it festive and fun is kind and courteous to all the parade goers, and as always, be safe. Keep little firecrackers (and big ones, too) out of the street at all times during the parade; that Tootsie Roll can wait! We also recommend bringing your sunscreen and water bottles to avoid getting overheated. Nobody likes a passed-out passerby. Once the confetti settles, head over to Porter Park for exciting activities and delicious food waiting for your arrival! The Party in the Park is sure to keep the spirit going all day long! We can't wait to celebrate this holiday with you! We have to give a special shout-out to the @Rexburg Area Chamber of Commerce for dedicating their tireless efforts to making these two events happen. Their commitment to our community is truly commendable. We’re grateful for their dedication and can’t wait to see the results of their efforts come to life in just a few days!

Rexburg sends a BIG shoutout to Toyota for being the title sponsor for the 2025 Rexburg 4th of July Fireworks Celebration! The City of Rexburg and Madison County share additional sponsorships for this year's show, which is sure to delight and amaze. Look to the sky around 10 pm this Friday, the 4th of July, 2025!

City Hall and our affiliated offices will be closed on Friday, July 4th, in honor of the Fourth of July. Emergency Services and our recreation facilities will remain in operation as usual. Trash and recycling pickup, normally scheduled for Friday, will be picked up on Saturday, July 5th. We hope you enjoy your holiday! Stay Safe, Rexburg!

Be a part of the celebration by running in our annual Main Street Mile! The race runs the route of the parade before the floats take over the street to cheering crowds along the entire way. This is such a fun way to celebrate the 4th, and we know you don't want to miss it! Register for the race online at rexburgraces.com.

We are so excited for our new all-abilities play equipment over at Smith Park that we're hosting a ribbon cutting to thank the generous donors of these two fun play pieces! Join us at Smith Park this Friday, June 27th, at 10:00 am to help us give a special thanks to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation for the donation of the whirl, and the Rocky Mountain Power Foundation for the donation of the swing! Bring the kids, let's play and have some fun!

The Rexburg 4th of July Fireworks display is always a sight to behold! It's back this year thanks to @DriveToyotaNW & Stones Toyota of Rexburg! Come celebrate our freedom with us on the 4th with this grand display in the sky!

Today, as the Teton Dam Marathon races through Rexburg and the Flood of Memories film shows at the Romance Theater, we as a community remember the tragedy that took place as an origin story for both of today's events. Next year marks 50 years since the dam broke in 1976, unleashing 80 billion gallons of water on the communities below. In preparation, the Rexburg Cultural Arts Department is compiling a series of events and activities to commemorate that community-defining disaster. Introducing "Flood 50". Over the next 12 months, please join us in remembering stories, serving our communities, and reconnecting with our past. Visit Rexburg Cultural Arts online for more info. rexburgarts.org

🏛️✨ As we wrap up our weekly #TabernacleTuesday series (we may be back with more facts in the future as time goes on), we invite you to join the community and get involved in our Tabernacle Legacy Campaign (TLC). This project aims to renovate and restore our historic 1911 Tabernacle Civic Center. While some of you may know about this special place, we want everyone to realize how important it is for our community. The Tabernacle isn't just a building; it’s a place for friends and families can come together, celebrate our talents, and expand our horizons! To make this happen, we need your help. We invite you to our new See My Legacy TLC Campaign page to see how you can help ensure the future of this space. Here, we're sharing images of what this space has been envisioned for in the future, including a new formal event center, a refreshed auditorium, gorgeous garden spaces, and more. Along with this restoration, the City is working diligently to explore program expansion opportunities to involve more of the community in this central social gathering space. We invite you to share your ideas for the building here. What programming would entice you get involved in the community and the Tabernacle? Please think about supporting the campaign so that together, we can keep the Tabernacle a cherished place for everyone in Rexburg for many years to come! We understand financial strains are difficult. Simply sharing this post can also have a big impact on sharing the word about this monumental effort. 💖🏗️ View the campaign: https://app.seemylegacy.com/community/428/campaign/4481 #PreserveOurHeritage #SeeMyLegacy #RexburgCommunity #RexburgIdaho #CapitalCampaign #TabernacleTuesday #RexburgTabernacle
