Independence Day Celebration

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! 

Saturday, July 4, 2026 | 7 – 9:30 PM

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. This event is free and open to the public, and seating is first-come, first-served.
