Houston's 25th Annual Fourth of July Patriotic Celebration 

 

Freedom Over Texas 4th of July Celebration 2011

Come out and be a part of this awesome extravaganza which will celebrate the birth of our nation and give tribute to our military.  I'm proud to say that Houston makes a big deal of honoring those men and women who have served in the military and fought for our freedom - so come out and help celebrate - it should be an awesome evening!

 

It will take place at Eleanor Tinsley Park starting at 4:00 in the afternoon with many family activities such as military displays and onsite recruiting, live patriotic music, an All-American Kids Zone, and a display of the latest Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles.  There will also be a Family Fitness Challenge Area with activities provided by the Houston Aeros, the Houston Astros, Houston Dynamo, the Houston Rockets and the Houston Texans. 

Bring one can of food per person to go to the Houston Food Bank and admission is FREE.  Otherwise, it will cost you $8 per person.  Children under 2 years old get in free.

 

Chris Young, Jack Ingram and Rodney Atkins will be on stage betweem 8:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.

At 9:30 the fireworks extravaganza will begin.  The event closes at 10:00 p.m.

For those who can't attend in person, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. you can watch the festivities on KTRK-TV, ABC Channel 13 and/or listen to the music on 100.3 KILT.

Hi Rose,  It is always a spectacular event.

Hi Dale, I think the size and spectacularness (if that's a word??) is appropriate for what the event stands for!

Hi Judi, Neither can I.  Thanks for your tips regarding free photos -- it was just what I needed for this post -- I needed one for fireworks!  So nice of you to continue sharing with all of us where we can get free photos.

That’s a bargain to get in for just one can of food. Seems like I would have required four or five cans. That still would have been a bargain.

Hi Connie, Sorry for the slow response.  I have "had my nose to the grindstone" as the saying goes.  Thankfully, I've been so busy working, but unfortunately have had little or no "me" time.  Have to take advantage of the opportunities while they are there, as things will probably slow down here in the fall.  Have to be like the squirrels!

Russel, Cute cartoon.  I'm looking forward to a day of daydreaming (kind of). Thanks.

Hi Dale,  Thanks for stopping by.

Lynn, I agree.
