On July 4, 2009, the city will host a series of free daytime events in the park at the east end of the fountain. The events will conclude at dusk with fireworks presented by Today's Channel 6, 107.1 K-Hits, Idaho Statesman and the City of Boise. Daytime activities include children’s games coordinated by Boise Parks & Recreation, a concert of patriotic and popular music by the Boise Municipal Band under the direction of Boise State music professor Marcellus Brown, and a ceremony with Boise Mayor David Bieter, Mrs. Velma Morrison and members of the Daly family. The schedule is: 3:00-5:30 p.m. – relay races, capture the flag, soccer and crafts 5:30-6:30 p.m. – Boise Municipal Band 6:30-7:00 p.m. – Official ceremony An exhibit of MK and photos of construction of the park will be on display at the Boise Depot from noon-4 p.m. July 4, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. July 5 and 12:30-5 p.m. July 6.
