Top Fourth of July Celebrations in Montana for Engaged Couples.
Parades, rodeos and fireworks, oh my! There's no lack of fun in Montana on this 4th of July, 2025! Rodeos seem to be the iconic activity. Having spent much of my life in Red Lodge, Montana I can tell you it's more than an activity it's a way of life. For that day on the 4th everyone is a cowboy looking for adventure and many for love. My romance with my husband began 45 years ago on the 4th of July in Red Lodge resulting in a wedding on July 5th in Nye , Montana. It's true that many engagements are a part of the fireworks on the 4th and sure why not at a rodeo!Not only are rodeos fun for the 4th of July but they are romantic in a cowboy kinda away!
Many towns in Montana combine parades, rodeos and fireworks for the 4th. Making a day or a weekend out of it is a great way to share your own fireworks with each other.
