Happy Fireworks! That is to say, happy 4th of July! Or happy Independence Day, even! Look, summer’s here, and we all know that means two things: BBQ and fireworks. Here are five local events that will literally give you some bang for your buck.
TWN’s Freedom Fest at Splash Kingdom
Admission: $5 per person, $15 per family (Family of currently deployed military get in free)
Are you or your family in the military? Then head to Splash Kingdom water park on June 30th for The Warrior Network’s Freedom Fest. Note that this event is only open to the military and their families.
KTBS 3’s 2019 Freedom Fest Finale
Admission: Free
Fireworks begin at: 9:15 PM
This wrap-up of KTBS’s Freedom Fest includes not only fireworks, but musical acts such as Michael Love and David Lee Murphy.
If you want to watch the river fireworks, but from the comfort of the great indoors, grab dinner at Red River Brewing Company. They’ll have live music and one dollar off Red River pints.
Looking to bounce around a little bit more? Hit up the East Bank Block Party, and hop between BeauxJax Crafthouse, Bayou Axe Co., and Flying Heart Brewing for some great musical acts, bounce houses for the kids, food trucks, and more!
Admission: $10 for adults, $5 for military (kids under 4 get in free)
The LA Legacy Jazz Orchestra will be performing live at the Remington Suite Hotel and Spa. Sweetport will also be there with some ice cream for sale to beat the heat! Enjoy some smooth tunes while you wait for the fireworks to kick off.
