Best Fourth of July in Missoula with grand parade
Missoula celebrated a perfect Fourth of July with a sunrise salute, a grand parade led by Fort Missoula troops and the Boston and Montana band, elaborate floats from the machinists union and local firms, burlesque acts, and festive crowds from Coeur d Alene Plains Butte and Anaconda. The day featured log rolling contests, a tug of war between lumberjacks and firemen, races, a ball game versus Butte, and a courthouse square program with addresses by Matthew M Joyce. Evening fireworks and a concert by the Boston and Montana band capped the day as visitors from across western Montana joined locals in a high spirited celebration.
