With parades, family, friends, delicious food, patriotism and unforgettable fireworks, there’s something special about Independence Day in east Idaho — especially when we’re celebrating the nation’s 250th birthday!

Now imagine experiencing the July 4 celebrations from the air on a helicopter ride!

EastIdahoNews.com is partnering with Les Schwab Tire Center to make it happen as part of the annual Riverfest in Idaho Falls.

For only $85 per person, riders will take off from Snake River Landing, soar over beautiful Idaho Falls to Ammon and fly over neighborhoods, the LDS Temple, Melaleuca Field, downtown and the gorgeous falls. You’re welcome to take as many photos (and videos) from the air as you want, and trust us — it will be a memory you’ll never forget.
