INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATED WELL IN PHILLIPS FOR AMERICA'S 250TH YEAR


A 48-minutes-long Independence Day parade was held on Lake Avenue in Phillips on Saturday, July 4, 2026, with great participation by area residents and businesses and a large crowd in attendance.  My Price County tried to capture every float in the video.  That evening, country artist, Adam Calvert, was on stage in Elk Lake Park, which was followed by an amazing approximately 30-minutes-long non-stop fireworks show by Palas Pyro LLC.  (Show your support; follow the Palas Pyro page on Facebook.). Vehicles driving by stopped when they saw the fireworks and lined the highway.  At the end of the show, the thousands of people in the park cheered and the cars on the highway honked with appreciation for a wonderful display of fireworks.  People commented on Facebook that it was the best show they ever watched in Phillips.  Our camera wasn't in "fireworks mode" at the end, so the sample we shared in the video was not as magnificent as it looked in person.
