2010 Fourth of July Events Throughout the Metroplex

Events for 2010

Independence Day is a time to observe the nation’s birthday and bask in the glow of fireworks displays while shielding ourselves from smoke seeping through barbecue grills.

The Fourth of July commemorates the day the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Continental Congress (FYI), and throughout the Metroplex, you and your family can celebrate this national holiday by attending some of the many concerts, parades and fireworks shows that are definitely Worth The Drive.
