Steamboat Springs celebrates the Fourth of July (with video)
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — The city of Steamboat Springs canceled all original celebrations tied to the Fourth of July due to COVID-19. However, the city came up with an alternative to the parade, a Red, White and Blue Drive-Through that wove through town beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday.
The longer route, which started at the Strings Music Pavillion parking lot, discouraged crowds and it seemed to work. Spectators were scattered along the streets to take in the small procession.
