IDAHO FALLS ~ Idaho Falls residents are gearing up for a festive Independence Day celebration at the Greater Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce's Liberty on Parade. As the community comes together to commemorate this special day, Mayor Rebecca Casper and the City Council are once again urging everyone to show their support for a worthy cause - the Community Food Basket - Idaho Falls.
On Friday, July 4, 2025, Mayor Casper, members of the City Council, and a team of volunteers will be collecting monetary donations along the parade route. Instead of canned food items, they will be accepting cash and digital contributions through Venmo. To make it even more convenient for donors, volunteers will also be distributing flyers featuring the Community Food Basket's "Most Needed Items" list and a QR code that links directly to their Venmo account.
According to Mayor Casper, the Fourth of July is not only a time for celebration but also an opportunity to showcase the best of who we are as a community. By supporting the Community Food Basket, residents can not only enjoy the parade but also make a meaningful impact in ensuring that families in Idaho Falls have access to basic necessities. "That's something worth celebrating," she added.

This year, Mayor Casper and the City Council will be joined by volunteers as they travel along the parade route in style - on a vintage fire truck provided by Farr's Candy. The executive director of Community Food Basket - Idaho Falls, Ariel Jackson expressed her gratitude towards this gesture and emphasized how crucial community support is in keeping their shelves stocked and doors open.
Jackson further explained that even small donations can make a significant difference as every dollar donated can provide $4.80 worth of food - enough to feed a family of four. She acknowledged that with each contribution during the parade, they can continue to provide meals to local families facing food insecurity.
The Liberty on Parade event will kick off at 9 am on Friday morning near Idaho Falls High School. The parade will then proceed down 4th Street and head south on Boulevard before ending at Tautphaus Park. Residents are encouraged to join in the festivities and take this opportunity to support their neighbors in need.
