With Spokane-area shows canceled, the already-big event could attract as many as 50,000 people, organizers estimate.

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — The 4th of July fireworks show in Coeur d'Alene could wind of being one of the city's largest ever events, according to organizers and local first responders.
The City of Spokane postponed its four professional shows, and there's a strict burn ban in place in Washington. That means CDA may become the only legal way for people to get their firework fix this holiday weekend.
The event is normally large, and since it didn't happen in 2020 due to COVID, was already expected to be larger than normal. Now, with many more Washingtonians likely to cross the border, the celebration could be truly massive.
