City of Rexburg

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!

Bring the kids, let's play and have some fun!

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
