Fourth of July Magic on the Lake – The Coeur d’Alene Resort

Skip the stress of worrying if you bought enough hot dog buns, eliminate the risk of your children burning themselves with sparklers, and forget about jostling for a perfect view of the fireworks show this Fourth of July! The Coeur d’Alene Resort’s 4th of July festivities are the best way to enjoy the holiday – while still making it feel like a holiday!

The VIP Grand Dinner Buffet, on The Resort’s Lakeview Terrace, is the ultimate Coeur d’Alene experience. A huge dinner buffet featuring summer favorites such as corn-on-the-cob, bacon-wrapped New York striploin, potato salad and delicious pies is just the beginning of the fun (view the full menu HERE).

Live music from Eric Neuhausser is the perfect accompaniment to the expansive views of beautiful Lake Coeur d’Alene. Have you ever watched fireworks over the lake? You MUST experience it at least once- at the VIP Grand Dinner Buffet you have a front-row seat to the action! Don’t worry about lugging lawn chairs, coolers and blankets out to the park or dealing with the crowds on the public beach – we’ve got it all set up and waiting for you!

Prefer to lounge around on the grass? The Coeur d’Alene Resort Steaks N’ Sparklers event may be more your style! Held on The Resort’s front lawn, this event is a Guest favorite!

Smash Hit Carnival will be out performing live music while the kids play lawn games and you grab a drink from the no-host bar (try a Huckleberry Vodka Lemonade for a quintessential Northern Idaho refresher)! The All-American dinner buffet will satisfy all your barbeque cravings with hotdog sliders, smoke-roasted whole pig, grilled asparagus salad and much more (check out all the delicious offerings HERE)!

Finish it off with star spangled shortcake for a delicious – and festive – treat. Of course, it’s all about the fireworks on Independence Day – and The Resort’s front lawn provides the ideal watching location!

If watching the fireworks show on the lake is more your style, Lake Coeur d’Alene Cruises has the perfect solution for you! The Family Fireworks Cruise is the perfect way to get the whole family together on the water! Starting at 8:30, it gives you time to experience all the Independence day festivities happening downtown before the fireworks show.

Prefer to enjoy the fireworks while sipping on some delicious cocktails? The 21+ VIP Fireworks Cruise gives you the perfect spot to watch the fireworks, gourmet hors d’oeuvres, and two complimentary drink tickets! It’s always a beautiful evening to be out on Lake Coeur d’Alene!

Downtown Coeur d’Alene is always festive on the Fourth! The annual family-fun parade kicks off at 10 am! Dress the family in red, white, and blue and grab a seat along Sherman Avenue to take part in this fun event!

After the parade, head over to McEuen Park, located beside The Coeur d’Alene Resort, for an assortment of music performances, food vendors, and family fun. The Resort’s parking garage will be open all day first come, first serve to alleviate the hassle of finding a spot downtown on this holiday!

Make sure to come early to soak up all the fun the 4th of July in Coeur d’Alene has to offer- and don’t forget the sunscreen!
