City of Rexburg

Tomorrow, in honor of the September 11th attacks in 2001, we recognize this National Day of Service and Remembrance with our friends at JustServe, who are partnering with us to complete two projects at Smith Park!

Together, we invite you to join us as we detail the lettering in the Veterans' Memorial and work to improve the landscaping around the park.
To sign up for one of the 2-hour shifts available tomorrow or Friday, the 12th, visit: tinyurl.com/2uw7hye3

In honor of September 11th, the Rexburg Police Department and Madison Fire Department administrative offices will be closed tomorrow. Their emergency services will remain in operation as usual.

The G.O.A.T.

Greatest Of All Time
In September, we’ve hired a team of professional weed eaters to help us clear the weeds and brush from Eagle Park. We know this team to be the best in the business at their job, because taking care of weeds is their favorite thing to do.
Who is the G.O.A.T. at weed clearing? Actual goats. Yes, these goats will munch and chomp until the cows come home, or the goats in this case.
We expect the goats to be on-site, moving from campsite to campsite, for about 2 weeks. They will be kept in livestock fenced areas to ensure they don’t wander too far. We don’t advise getting to close to the fences - it could be shocking. Trails through the park will remain open for foot and bicycle traffic, but please no vehicles.

On Labor Day, we offer gratitude to the workers who help bring dreams to life!
City Hall and our affiliated offices will be closed on Monday, September 1st, in honor of Labor Day. Emergency services will remain in operation as usual.
Trash normally picked up on Monday will be picked up on Tuesday, the 2nd.

Sending special thanks to our workers today and always!

📢 Heads up, Rexburg! Starting Monday morning (8/25) at 7:30 a.m., our phone lines will be getting an upgrade.

✅ The main City Hall line will be the first to switch over, and it may be down for about an hour.
✅ Throughout the week, our IT team will continue upgrading our other lines across all of our City facilities.

If you need to reach us during this time, please be patient; we’ll be back online quickly. We can also be reached by email or through our contact form on the website (just click the blue Rexburg circle in the lower-right corner). Thanks for your understanding as we work to improve our services!

Rexburg! 🎉 We are so excited to “Celebrate Youth” with you and Madison School District #321 today at Porter Park! It’s one of the biggest community traditions of the year, and we can’t wait to see families and students come together to kick off the school year. 🍎✏️

That said… sometimes life throws us lemons (or in this case, a few construction cones). 🚧 Road work unexpectedly began today alongside Porter Park on S 2nd W. While this wasn’t communicated to City teams ahead of time to avoid this scenario, we’re making lemonade of it together. That section of the road is reduced to one lane of traffic in each direction. With that in mind, avoiding that area as much as possible is advised, particularly during today's event, which is from 2-7 pm.

👉 Please allow yourself extra time when heading to the event and watch for construction and community traffic that will be heavy in the area.

An alternative to consider, the school district is offering two shuttles for convenient parking and transportation from the Junior High and Middle School parking lots. 🚍

Thank you for your patience, positivity, and community spirit. We’ll make lemonade out of this one, Rexburg style! 💛 See you at the park!

The elephant in the sanitation room these days...“That Guy.”
We all know them…someone who thinks “if the mattress fits, it sits.” They dump their smelly, old couch where it doesn’t belong and act like they own the parking lot, leaving their vehicles in unmarked places, blocking dumpsters like it’s a trend.

“That Guy’s” actions can be dumpster fires for everyone. In the case of dumpsters, they don’t get dumped!

Furniture and mattresses in dumpsters aren’t just taboo; they cause big problems for the sanitation team, from truck damage to excessive route times. And if sanitation drivers can’t reach dumpsters or there are unallowed items in there, they can’t take out the trash!

So don’t be “That Guy.”
And if you know “That Guy,” help us out and spread the word.
We’re asking everyone to help keep this sanitation operation...sanitary. Because no one wants to be around a mountain of trash thanks to “That Guy”.

This year, we're pleased to present our annual 4th of July Fireworks Celebration powered by Toyota from TWO unique locations! Watch the skies toward the center of town to see the display at Riverside Park or look west for the display at the Teton Lakes Golf Course! Bangs and Booms are sure to conquer the skies this evening - remember to celebrate safely. We hope you enjoy the show!

We're so excited for the Rexburg 4th of July parade to sprinkle some star-spangled cheer on our streets this week! A heads-up: if you start decorating City property—like parks, sidewalks, streets, or alleys—with things like blankets, chairs, or coolers before 6:00 pm on July 3rd, our City crews will turn it into a game of finders keeprs, collecting your goodies to stash away until you can retrie them after the holiday. Keeping it festive and fun is kind and courteous to all the parade goers, and as always, be safe. Keep little firecrackers (and big ones, too) out of the street at all times during the parade; that Tootsie Roll can wait! We also recommend bringing your sunscreen and water bottles to avoid getting overheated. Nobody likes a passed-out passerby. Once the confetti settles, head over to Porter Park for exciting activities and delicious food waiting for your arrival! The Party in the Park is sure to keep the spirit going all day long! We can't wait to celebrate this holiday with you! We have to give a special shout-out to the @Rexburg Area Chamber of Commerce for dedicating their tireless efforts to making these two events happen. Their commitment to our community is truly commendable. We’re grateful for their dedication and can’t wait to see the results of their efforts come to life in just a few days!

Rexburg sends a BIG shoutout to Toyota for being the title sponsor for the 2025 Rexburg 4th of July Fireworks Celebration! The City of Rexburg and Madison County share additional sponsorships for this year's show, which is sure to delight and amaze. Look to the sky around 10 pm this Friday, the 4th of July, 2025!

City Hall and our affiliated offices will be closed on Friday, July 4th, in honor of the Fourth of July. Emergency Services and our recreation facilities will remain in operation as usual. Trash and recycling pickup, normally scheduled for Friday, will be picked up on Saturday, July 5th. We hope you enjoy your holiday! Stay Safe, Rexburg!

Be a part of the celebration by running in our annual Main Street Mile! The race runs the route of the parade before the floats take over the street to cheering crowds along the entire way. This is such a fun way to celebrate the 4th, and we know you don't want to miss it! Register for the race online at rexburgraces.com.

We are so excited for our new all-abilities play equipment over at Smith Park that we're hosting a ribbon cutting to thank the generous donors of these two fun play pieces! Join us at Smith Park this Friday, June 27th, at 10:00 am to help us give a special thanks to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation for the donation of the whirl, and the Rocky Mountain Power Foundation for the donation of the swing! Bring the kids, let's play and have some fun!

The Rexburg 4th of July Fireworks display is always a sight to behold! It's back this year thanks to @DriveToyotaNW & Stones Toyota of Rexburg! Come celebrate our freedom with us on the 4th with this grand display in the sky!

On Juneteenth, we honor the past, celebrate progress, and recommit to building a future of true equality. City Hall and our affiliated offices will be closed on Thursday, June 19th, in honor of Juneteenth. Emergency services will remain in operation as usual. Trash normally picked up on Thursday, the 19th, will be picked up on Friday, the 20th. Let freedom ring!

The bi-annual Fly-In Pancake Breakfast is BACK! Join us on Saturday morning at the Legacy Flight Museum (400 Airport Rd) for a FREE pancake breakfast. See you there!

Today, as the Teton Dam Marathon races through Rexburg and the Flood of Memories film shows at the Romance Theater, we as a community remember the tragedy that took place as an origin story for both of today's events. Next year marks 50 years since the dam broke in 1976, unleashing 80 billion gallons of water on the communities below. In preparation, the Rexburg Cultural Arts Department is compiling a series of events and activities to commemorate that community-defining disaster. Introducing "Flood 50". Over the next 12 months, please join us in remembering stories, serving our communities, and reconnecting with our past. Visit Rexburg Cultural Arts online for more info. rexburgarts.org
