July 4 in Houston: Where To Go

As usual, Houston and surrounding neighborhoods and towns are going all out for 4^th of July celebrations. Here in Texas, we aren’t shy about our patriotism—and aren’t afraid to make a huge party out of it.

But sometimes it can be hard to find out what’s going on in your neighborhood, and importantly, when the big firework shows begin.

Don’t worry. We at Circa Real Estate have your back. Pooling our amazing knowledge of our neighborhoods and sourcing more than 20 websites, we compiled every family-friendly 4^th of July event in the area that we could find.

Remember: Be smart with fireworks, put pets in a safe place, and enjoy celebrating this beautiful country!
