From fireworks to picnics to parties and more, here's how to celebrate the Fourth of July in Houston for the perfect Independence Day.

The festival will be spread out across various locations, including Waterway Square, Rob Fleming Park and Hughes Landing. Each spot will have a different variety of music, ranging from Rock, to 80s and 90s, to music presented by the Woodlands Symphony Orchestra.
