The 2025 Bonners Ferry Fourth of July parade was one for the history books. Hundreds of people gathered together for one purpose.
The Boundary County Fairgrounds parking lot was lined to floats, cars, trucks, local businesses, walkers, horses, scooters and just about anything else you can think of to take the route around downtown Bonners Ferry to celebrate our independence.
Each entity was voted upon for best overall float, best patriotic display, most inspiring, best musical performance, best use of theme, best youth participation, crowd favorite, best costumes, best decorated vehicle, and spirit of the community. After much anticipation, the results are in.
This year the theme of the day was “A salute to heroes of freedom, honoring those who serve.”
