Celebrate Fourth of July in a Unique Way

This year Fourth of July celebrations are going to look and feel different but that doesn’t mean you need to pause on creating spectacular memories. Celebrating can happen in many different ways and this may be the year to create new traditions that can easily be added to future celebrations!

New ways to celebrate

Set off sparklers and play patriotic songs in your front yard

It wouldn’t be Independence Day without the glow and gleam of fireworks. Turn up the classic patriotic tunes and light up the sparklers while celebrating into the night with family or close friends.

Go Boating

Living in Texas Hill and Lake Country there are endless lakes to get out on to celebrate Independence Day. Go paddle boarding, tubing, jet skiing or hang out along the bank. It is the perfect day to get out on the water and take in the amazing blue skies.

Visit a National park

Celebrate the beautiful country we live in at the nearby Lyndon B Johnson National Historic Park, which tells the story of the 36^th President starting with his ancestors until he retired at the LBJ Ranch. There are hiking trails and several sight-seeing spots to explore. Check for updates restrictions.

Volunteer

Create a project for someone else

Almost everyone loves to receive a random gift on their doorstep. Spend the day baking or crafting for someone else.
