❄️ We waited. We hoped. We refreshed the forecast.
Still no snow. (And now our Recreation crew is side-eyeing our Streets crew for that wish they made to Santa last month.) 👀

Without winter conditions, Winterfest won’t take place this year, but we already have some big plans in mind for our 2027 event!

Thanks for understanding, and we’ll see you next year… when winter will hopefully decide to show up. ⛄😉

The City of Rexburg is grateful to have been awarded a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation! This grant empowers communities to prevent serious traffic injuries and fatalities for everyone, regardless of age or ability. With it, we're crafting a Safety Action Plan to pinpoint roadway safety concerns, and we want YOUR input!

Rexburg’s Public Works Team is committed to adopting the USDOT’s Safe Systems Approach, which designs roads to accommodate for human errors. This goal also aligns with the national "Vision Zero" movement, which strives to eliminate traffic-related deaths and serious injuries.

Safety is a collective responsibility shared by drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, the City, and first responders. This approach emphasizes Safe Roads, Safe Speeds, Safe People, and robust Post-Crash Care. Whether you walk, bike, drive, or use a wheelchair, we need YOUR insight!
We welcome your thoughts through our new Safe Streets for All Survey to tell us which changes you believe will best protect our community!

Take the Survey here: https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/853f494812a743c4a78285068f354ea7

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!

As "America's Family Community", safety is our top priority. While canals may seem like an inviting place to cool off, they are incredibly dangerous. More Idaho children drown in canals than in any other water body. No adult, child, or pet should ever swim or play near a canal. Instead, enjoy the summer sun at Rexburg Rapids or the Porter Park Splash Pad, where fun is cool and safe! Help us protect every member of our family community with wise water habits today and every day. 💧⚠️

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!
