Farmers Branch Independence Day Celebration


Farmers Branch Historical Park

Celebrate our nation’s independence with your neighbors, family and friends on Friday night, July 1, at the Farmers Branch Historical Park! We’ve thrilled to feature the area’s best low-level fireworks show as well as lots of free activities for the kiddos including airbrush tattoos, balloon artists, strolling patriotic characters and the Ballistic Swing amusement ride. As if that wasn’t enough, we’ve got the high energy, party band Limelight to get you up and dancing!

There will be food and beverages for sale from Nuevo Leon Mex Mex, Bartley’s BBQ, Fletchers Corn Dogs & Funnel Cakes, Blackberry Winter Creamery, Tikiz Shaved Ice, and gourmet caramel apples from Taylor’s Sweetshop. Adult libations including beer and wine will be available for purchase at the event. Outside coolers are allowed, however, no alcohol can be brought into the event. We know you have a choice to bring in food, but we’d appreciate it if you and your family could patronize these wonderful vendors.

Event hours are from 6:30 – 10 p.m., and once again, the Firecracker Fast Pass will be available to all residents and allows for free, early entry.

Back again are the VIP cabanas! Priced at only $200, these reserved tents offer a great way to enjoy the event as well as provide the benefit of on-site parking. (SOLD OUT)
