HEB Presents Fireworks on the Brazos
Celebrate national independence at the very site where Texas gained its independence in 1836: Washington on the Brazos State Historic Site, between Brenham and Navasota.
Presented by H-E-B and coordinated by the Washington on the Brazos State Park Association, the annual 4th of July celebration at this 293-acre state park includes a day filled with family activities from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, July 4, 2015. Highlights of the celebration are the free music concert by Cody Bryan Band from 7 to 9 p.m. in the park’s amphitheater, followed by a fireworks extravaganza with patriotic music at approximately 9:30 p.m. Buses will run constantly from 1 to 10 p.m. to shuttle guests to the different areas of the park, at no charge.
Food and craft vendors will offer a variety of items for sale throughout the event. Located near the Visitor’s Center, H-E-B will give away free sodas at 5:30 p.m. As always, admission to the park and parking is free. Fees apply for access to Barrington Farm and the Star of the Republic Museum and tours of Independence Hall.
