Fireworks During a Pandemic

The Fourth of July will be a little different this year with many cities canceling festivals and parades due to COVID-19. Here’s a list of events and fireworks shows that are still happening in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex and beyond. This is the latest but you still might want to check with organizers to make sure the event hasn’t been canceled last minute. And if you decide to get out in your cars rather than stream, please social distance, wear masks and respect each other. Most importantly, have fun, be safe, and celebrate!  Celebrate our freedom and independence in this country that today extends to everyone – regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation or beliefs. Stand in love! Stand together!

Have a great holiday weekend!
