BOISE, Idaho — Editor's note: The above video discusses the city of Boise's plans for citywide fireworks on the Fourth of July.

Although festivities will look much different than previous years, there are still many events occurring that will allow Idaho residents to celebrate Fourth of July and keep themselves safe.

The firework show will take place at Brother's Park in Caldwell. City officials are strongly encouraging those who attend the event at the park to maintain at least six feet of distance between themselves and others.
Nampa's annual Fourth of July parade was canceled earlier this year.
