4th of July

Missoula's most patriotic citizen, Susan Campbell Reneau and her husband, Jack are in Washington D.C. for the 4th of July parade.

Gas prices in Missoula stayed this same this week, but that was not the case for the national average.

After a long hiatus, the traditional 4th of July music and fireworks show will return to Missoula’s Southgate Mall.

The use of fireworks in the Missoula city limits has been illegal for several years, but that doesn’t seem to keep many residents from shooting off fireworks during the 4th of July season.

A record 44.2 million Americans are expected to be on the road or airways for the holiday, and extra law enforcement patrols will be in the city and on the highway. Be safe!

Many Missoulians have grown accustom to watching a 4th of July fireworks show at Southgate Mall, but the show will be in a different venue this year.

Here are a few family friendly options for fireworks displays this year.

Great news for 2017! The Southgate Mall will present a 4th of July fireworks celebration, but it won't be at the mall.

Start a wildfire and you could be on the hook for the costs of fighting it.

Hot temperatures are drying out grasses and forests, and fire danger is increasing.
