Valley Regional Transit will be participating in the Idaho 4th of July Parade in Downtown Boise, joining thousands of Idahoans in celebrating Independence Day and America’s 250th birthday.
VRT will be showcasing our 250 American-wrapped bus as part of this community-wide celebration of patriotism, service, and civic pride. The bus serves as a rolling tribute to the people and communities that public transportation connects throughout the Treasure Valley, and we’re excited to share it with parade attendees along the route.
The Idaho 4th of July Parade brings together veterans, community organizations, businesses, marching bands, elected officials, and families from across the state for one of Idaho’s premier Independence Day celebrations. The event begins with community activities and a pancake breakfast before the parade makes its way from the Boise State area to the Idaho State Capitol.
Community events like the Idaho 4th of July Parade provide an opportunity for VRT to celebrate alongside the people we serve while raising awareness about the transportation services that help connect residents to work, school, healthcare, recreation, and community events every day.
