Events will be different this year, with some activities going virtual. Others will have limited in-person activities and strict social distancing protocols.
Before attending any event, be sure to self-screen for COVID-19, wash hands frequently, and if you’re going with a group of up to 10 people, be sure to social distance from other groups.
Here are the events scheduled for Fourth of July this year in the Houston-area:
Shell Freedom Over Texas
Date: July 4, 7 p.m.
Mayor Sylvester Turner made the announcement on June 15 that this year’s Shell Freedom Over Texas fireworks show will happen but activities will not. There will be performances from Pat Green and the Houston Symphony and appearances by Trae Tha Truth and Bun B.
🥳🥳 We’re SO excited!
