Jackson Hole 2009 Independence Day Celebration!
COMMUNITY PARADE
The Howdy Pardner Ambassador Club, an arm of the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce, facilitates the morning parade. The parade route includes most of the downtown Jackson area, including the Town Square. Participants leave from the Teton County Fair building on Snow King Avenue at 10:30am. Many various groups come out to celebrate the Fourth of July in Jackson Hole! Don't miss the parade!
JACKSON HOLE KIDS GAMES
Following the July 4th parade, plan to come by St. John's for an afternoon of fun and games. There will be a balloon toss, three-legged race, infant crawl, fish pond, watermelon eating contest, tug-of-war, football toss, and much more! For kids to 12 years old. The Jackson Hole Kids Games will start around 11:30am and go until approximately 1:30pm. Advance registration is encouraged. Space is limited and there is a suggested donation of $10 per child ($5 per adult who would like lunch).

MUSIC IN THE HOLE
Music in the Hole is a free outdoor concert put on by the Grand Teton Music Festival that takes place on the 4th of July. The event features the Grand Teton Music Festival Orchestra. As many as 8,000 people have set out blankets in front of the outdoor stage at Alpine Field in west Jackson to enjoy a patriotic day under the typically bluebird skies of Jackson Hole. The musical event often features familiar patriotic tunes but also endeavors to keep the event fresh by adding other musical elements. Several food and beverage vendors are on hand to serve you if you forgot your picnic spread. Visit www.gtmf.org for more information. Enjoy music, meet friends, and support the Jackson Hole Food Cupboard! Simply bring a canned food donation to Music In The Hole. Needed items include canned corn, tomatoes, peas, refried beans, evaporated milk, pasta, jam and jelly. See you at Music in the Hole!
FIREWORKS
Jackson Hole's 4th of July Celebration concludes with a world-class fireworks display put on by the Jackson Hole Jaycees. Despite Jackson's small size, the town puts on a fireworks show to rival any big city in the country. Thousands of locals and visitors gather at the base of Snow King Mountain at dusk to take in the show. Planning to stay in Teton Village? You won't miss the fireworks! Teton Village will host a special fireworks presentation at the base of the mountains!
