My kids made friends galore...we played volley ball, ate awesome food at the fair grounds or whatever it's called and just hung out with the locals. There was no rah rah red state Trump crap. Just good old fashioned Norman Rockwell-style Americana.
They also did a really tasteful and appropriately lengthed tribute to their troops, sang two songs (anthem, of course, and god save America or something). IDK, seemed really nice and patriotic without being nationalistic.
Straight white family of four with with one boy and one girl driving a pick up truck probably made us fit in like crazy, so I understand my perspective may not be everyone's, but I really loved it.
Most fun I've had for a fourth of July was Whitefish, though. They partied haaaard.
OP: Silverwood is super fun if you like rides. I wouldn't dream of missing that since you're going to drive right past it.

Honestly, 4th of July almost anywhere in the US is just the best and something everyone should experience. Small towns do it differently than big cities (and arguably better?) but it’s just so fun and can be a really inspirational day.
I have no doubt Bonners Ferry was amazing that day. I’m usually there when it’s quieter and I just kind of hate it. The vibe is off. I don’t stop anymore.
