Fireworks

While a good portion of local governments in Montana have put serious restrictions or outright bans on personal fireworks this summer, that is not the case in Butte where we have just entered that time of the summer where the fireworks stands are open and abundant.

Bozeman will never agree on fireworks, and it has always been this way. Whether they were "allowed" or not, people love them or hate them. We've discussed it many times. This year with a clear fireworks ban from the City of Bozeman, some residents are really not thrilled and they have thoughts.

Soon fireworks will be lighting up the Montana skies as we celebrate the 4th of July. In fact there are fireworks stands up and running across the state.

Butte'e Independence Day celebration officially begins on the 3rd of July with barbecues, music and, of course, the state's biggest fireworks show thanks to our friends at Town Pump. Are you going to a private party on the hill? Maybe more of a public setting. Here is a guide to the ultimate places to catch this year's fireworks show.
