Rexburg Races

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!

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.

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

🚦🏃‍♂️ATTENTION REXBURG! The Teton Dam Marathon is coming through town this Saturday, June 7th, and with it, you might encounter traffic delays and a few street closures to ensure the safety of all participants. Please note: the route has been updated this year—affected streets on the east and southeast side of town will be closed starting at 5 am and reopen after the last runner passes through, usually by 2 pm. Check out our graphic here of the Rexburg route, or visit our interactive Construction Impact Map online for more details. This exciting event attracts thousands of visitors to Rexburg, so expect longer wait times and increased traffic across town. Let’s show our hospitality by being patient and allowing yourself some extra time to reach your destination this Saturday.

Due to unforeseen circumstances (our boiler is having trouble), we regret that we have to delay the opening date of Rexburg Rapids. We hope to be ready for opening on Monday, June 9th. How important are heated pools anyway? Only kidding. We can't wait to see you when the water warms up!
