There are several events planned in Great Falls, Black Eagle, and Sun Prairie to celebrate Independence Day, which falls on Monday this year.
GREAT FALLS
The annual Independence Day parade in downtown Great Falls will be on Monday, July 4. The parade will begin at 11 a.m. and the route runs from 1st Avenue South to 8th Street, north to Central Avenue, and then heads west to Park Drive and disbands in Margaret Park (north of the Civic Center).

The Black Eagle Community Center had planned to host a live band and fireworks, but on Tuesday, June 28, sent this update to their schedule: "We will not be doing our annual fireworks show this year or music as costs were not feasible with the plumbing issues we have had."
