DFW Fourth of July Celebration Guide

We know with the world being a little crazy right now, that most of our yearly traditions are hard to make happen. We have noticed many fireworks shows and celebrations being cancelled or changed from previous years. So for the 4th of July, we went ahead and did the research to bring you information on the local shows and celebrations! Here is a list of options for you, our neighbors! Each one has a link to more information on the event to help your family make a great decision about your holiday!

Grapevine – Hosting their 38th Annual July 4th Firework Extravanganza! This will be done over Grapevine Lake. It is encouraged to arrive early as each parking area will have limited capacities.

Plano – The City of Plano is happy to announce a fireworks display for the July 4th Independence Day holiday. The fireworks will launch from the Lavon Farms near the Plano Event Center. This year, they will be set off at 500 to 600 feet. That should allow them to be seen from farther away. There will be ample viewing options. As always, the display will be set to music on radio station KLAK 97.5.
