Summer is here, and before you know it, 4rth of July will be here as well. That means it’s time for barbecue, hanging out on the lawn with friends and family, and of course, fireworks. Although residential fireworks aren’t legal within Bryan-College Station city limits, you can stop by the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum for the big firework show. And fireworks aren’t the only thing to enjoy on 4th of July in Brazos Valley. Here are a few of the events you can enjoy for the big day next month.
“I
Love America” Celebration
Every July 4th at
the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum, you can gather in the lawn for
the 4th of July “I Love America.” Celebration Concert and firework show.
Starting that morning, the museum opens with free admission. In the evening,
concession stands gather and bounce houses and games show up for the kids’
amusement. At 8:35, the Brazos Valley Symphony Orchestra begins the concert,
followed by a firework show at 9:30. Of all the firework events in College
Station, this is the big one to see.
Old-Fashioned
4th of July Celebration
For over 30 years,
the Brazos Heritage Society has put on a 4th of July celebration that evokes
the past. There’s a flag raising, patriotic readings, a children’s parade, live
music, and plenty of refreshments. It’s located right in the middle of the
Eastside Historical District of Bryan, at 30th and Hutchins. This is a festival
for early bird celebrators, and those who like to remember the history of their
4th of July celebrations.
Fireworks
On the Brazos
Another fireworks
festival occurs at Washington on the Brazos and runs from 10am to 10pm. There’s
fireworks at 9:30pm, but it’s so much more than that. Throughout the day, you
can enjoy free ice cream from Blue Bell, live music from country music artists,
and enjoy plenty of food and craft vendors. There’s even a shuttle running
starting in the afternoon to take people to and from the park.
Patriotic
Picnic
Maybe for you, 4th
of July is less about the fireworks and more about the fireworks and more about
the food. If that’s the case, the patriotic picnic at First Baptist in Bryan
might be for you. The picnic starts at 5:30pm and includes a concert for the
community’s entertainment. Like the other events, this is free and open to the
public.
