Free 4th of July Celebration in Tyler

(Tyler, Texas) We are in celebration mode for two reasons: a national holiday and a three-day weekend (for most of us).

Texans will join the rest of America as we come together to celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th! The date that the United States of America was born.

We’ll be celebrating with family and friends. We'll gather at the lake and in our backyards. We'll fire up the grill for those burgers and hot dogs. Play some yard games or card games indoors if it's too hot.

Then, when the sun sets in East Texas, we'll focus our eyes on the nighttime sky to be amazed by all the fireworks that will be lighting up the sky.
