For over 100 years, Troy, Montana (population
950) has thrown a traditional Fourth of July
celebration. Each year it has grown and now more
than 6,000 people visit the town annually to
take part in this free, family-friendly event
with a fireworks display that cannot be beat,
and once again, the Rod Benders will be taking
some of Boundary County's hottest cars to take
part!
The Rod Benders Car Club members will meet up at
Three Mile at 8:30 a.m. to get lined up for the
drive east, departing at 8:45 a.m. with the aim
of arriving in time to be served an
old-fashioned breakfast in Roosevelt Park, which
kicks off a full day of fun at 9 a.m.
At 11 a.m., the Troy Fourth of July Parade gets
underway, and afterwards, the Rod Benders will
join up with the Cruisers Car Club and others
from around the region for the Cruisers Car
Show.
In addition, the park will be filled with
vendors, food booths, artists, games, including
a three on three basketball tournament, and a
beer garden and more.
The Pitiful Players will perform “Caveman of the
Kootenai” at the Lincoln Theatre at 1 and 3
p.m. and there will be live music all day, with
featured band Rural 508 and special guest Izzy
Def.
Bus service will be available starting after the
parade. Pick up and drop off will be at Morrison
Elementary, Troy High School, Troy Activity
Center and Roosevelt Park.
The celebration will culminate in a spectacular
fireworks display at 11 p.m., showing the world
just how a small town Fourth is still the finest
way to celebrate Independence Day!
All times are Mountain Standard.
For safety at the event, organizers ask that you
leave your pets at home or at the campsite, no
bicycles or skateboards, no personal fireworks
and no adult beverages from outside Roosevelt
Park.
