Last year, country singer and Houston native Clay Walker served as a headliner for the event, which returned in person for the first time since the pandemic.
The event has become Houston’s annual signature Fourth of July celebration with an average of 50,000 people in attendance and is televised live in Houston. It’s filled with six hours of festivities, tradition, and concert stages along Allen Parkway, topping off with a fireworks finale.
