Americans celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain in 1776.
Many Americans traditionally celebrate by spending time with family and friends, cooking outdoors on grills, and watching fireworks displays.

Spend this Independence Day with your family and friends, wearing red, white and blue.
Head down to Vic Mathias Shores (formerly Auditorium Shores) for an amazing event complete with a fireworks display over the city skyline backed by the Austin Symphony Orchestra playing patriotic classics.
Music starts at 5 pm from performers such as Calder Allen, Melat, Bri Bagwell, and the Peterson Brothers.
Symphony starts at 8:30 pm, followed by “mile-high” fireworks at 9:30 pm.
The event is free and open to the public.
Enjoy delicious food from Austin’s best food trucks, check out the market vendors, and explore Vic Mathias Shores for family-friendly activities, including yard games and fun from their sponsors.
Plan ahead! There will be many thousands of people out watching the fireworks display. Please visit the Star Spangled Fest FAQs website to find out what to prepare for and how to get there.
You can also consider viewing the fireworks from another (less populated) location. View this article, linked here, for suggestions
