The year was 1974 and Willie was in College Station for his three day 2nd Annual July 4th Picnic. This year marks the 37th year of the picnic at the backyard at Bee Caves, Texas just outside Austin. But, if you can't make it to Austin there are plenty of things going on here in Big D.
Here is a sampling of weekend activities:
Friday and Sunday - Ballpark in Arlington - post game fireworks. I have found in the past that this is one of the best displays of fireworks in the area. Plus the Rangers are kicking it right now.
Saturday & Sunday - neighborhood parades in Lakewood, Forest Hills, Kessler, Bent Tree, Preston Hollow and many others.
Saturday - Thunder over Cedar Creek Lake - Pinnacle Club - Airshow and fireworks spectacular. Airshow begins at 6 pm and fireworks at 9m. This is the best show in all of DFW in my opinion. Last year there were over 40,000 people. View by land or water.
Sunday - Libertine Bar - 2101 Greenville Ave, Dallas - The free Brass Knuckle Corndog Beatdown.
Sunday 9 am - 5pm - Dallas Arboretum - Fourth of July - music, picnics, and floral displays.
Sunday 11 am - 4 pm - Dallas Heritage Village at Old City Park - Old-Fashioned Fourth - celebreate like it was 1899. $5 general admission.
Sunday - 9 pm - Lakewood Country Club Fireworks Display - Gaston & Abrams
Monday 6 pm - 10:30 - Fair Park Fourth-on-the-Fifth - Water shows and choreographed fireworks. Free to the public.
There are literally hundreds of other events for more check out Guidelive.
Have a great weekend and be careful.
