Hailey has been over celebrating the 4th of July since the 1800s, and this year will be no different. If you plan on heading north for the holiday weekend beware that there will be a lot of people out and about but, there will also be a lot of fun things to do!

A new River Festival with river tubing, a hoedown and a wild west shootout has been added to the Fourth of July activities in Hailey this year.

There will also be the traditional dancing, shoot out, live music and parade.
