City accepting July 4 evening event applications
John F. Russell/Steamboat Pilot & Today
The city of Steamboat Springs is accepting applications for a Fourth of July evening event this year. The request is asking for event ideas in lieu of a fireworks display, which will no longer be held in the city due to wildfire concerns.
A similar process was completed last year by City Council when a drone show was selected to receive the funding.
Event producers wishing to submit a special event application for the Fourth of July event must fill out the questionnaire, found at tinyurl.com/udh24uru, and submit to Teresa Long, tlong@steamboatsprings.net, by March 21.
Questionnaires will be reviewed, applicants will be interviewed and finalists will be selected by City Council members. Finalists will need to complete and submit a comprehensive special event permit application to receive funding.
This year, the Fourth of July is a Friday and traditional events like the Lion’s Club Pancake Breakfast, the Nordic Combined Roller Ski Race, July 4th Parade, Jumpin’ & Jammin’ Ski Jump Competition, and the Steamboat Springs ProRodeo Series are currently scheduled to take place.
