The Valley’s biggest summer tradition begins in Fort Bridger with the annual 4th of July parade—complete with festive floats, local groups, and plenty of small-town charm. At 6 p.m., the celebration shifts to Mountain View’s Town Park, where vendors, food trucks, kids’ games, and inflatable bounce houses create an afternoon of family fun. As the sun sets, everyone gathers back at the park for a vibrant fireworks show that lights up the Wyoming sky. It’s a full day of community, celebration, and classic Independence Day spirit.
