Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Friday, July 4th, 2025. Happy Independence Day to all our listeners across Gallatin Valley! If you’re looking for a way to cap off your Fourth of July celebrations, don’t miss Bozeman’s annual fireworks display tonight. The show kicks off at 10 PM sharp over at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds, and this year, the Bozeman Fire Department will light up the sky to keep that hometown tradition burning bright. These fireworks are now a three-year tradition, drawing neighbors together for a safe evening of spectacular bursts and patriotic cheer, and this year’s display is set to be bigger than ever. If you want a good vantage point, Deneke Park nearby or anywhere along North Black Avenue should give you a great view without the crowds.Downtown Bozeman is already bustling this morning with cafes opening early and local bakeries serving up festive Fourth-themed treats. Expect extra traffic and folks on foot, so plan ahead if you’re heading into town for breakfast or brunch. Many local businesses are offering holiday specials, and several shops are rolling out sidewalk sales if you’re in the mood for some retail therapy before tonight’s festivities.If you’re out with family, remember that many parks will be busy today. Bogert Park and Lindley Park are filling up fast with picnickers and lawn games, and while there are no official events in those green spaces today, they are perfect for tossing a frisbee or relaxing in the sun. Water lovers will want to make the most of this summer day at East Gallatin Recreation Area, though parking is limited so carpooling is your best bet.On the public safety front, local authorities are reminding everyone that private fireworks are not allowed within Bozeman city limits. This rule helps keep our neighborhoods safe and our pets a bit calmer tonight, so please leave the pyrotechnics to the professionals. If you’re out and about, remember that emergency crews will be on patrol and streets near the fairgrounds may be closed or slow-moving this evening.And finally before we go, a quick weather update—it’s shaping up to be a sunny, warm Friday with highs in the low 80s and just a light breeze, perfect for outdoor celebrations and catching the fireworks tonight.This has been Bozeman Local Frequency.
