The two-day festival includes volleyball tournaments, a car show, live music, bounce houses and slides, and of course, the always-popular 4th of July fireworks display over Payette Lake. Because the holiday falls in the middle of the week, organizers say they have a lot of other events planned during the 10-day stretch encompassing Independence Day.
