Presented by Texas Capital | Official Independence Day Celebration of the City of Dallas

There is no better way to celebrate America’s birthday than spending it in Klyde Warren Park!

Our Honorary Chairs, Ben E. Keith Company & Kristin and James Hallam Family, hope you will join us as we salute the USA from Dallas’ town square! Enjoy summer treats from a variety of food trucks, live music from Emerald City Band, family-fun programming and the grand finale — fireworks, presented by Crescent Row and Oncor, lighting up the Dallas skyline.
