After two years of reimagined celebrations, Shell Freedom Over Texas is returning to its full star-spangled glory with an in-person event featuring six hours of festivities along Allen Parkway. Last year, the virtual event included a special moment honoring frontline workers, and the traditional height of the fireworks was doubled to facilitate widespread viewing of the show.<\/p>\n
This year, the Fourth of July celebration returns at full capacity to Eleanor Tinsley and Sam Houston Parks on Buffalo Bayou, complete with live music and family-friendly activities. Kicking off the concert at the Shell Main Stage will be Step Rideau and the Zydeco Outlaws, followed by Walker County and rapper\/singer Blanco Brown. Later, a performance by Sawyer Brown will open for headliner Clay Walker. The evening concludes with a grand-finale fireworks show.<\/p>\n
Festivities throughout the day include an All-American Kids Zone (a childrens entertainment area with a stage for performances), the Bud Light Seltzer Summer Sizzle, a Cool Zone with Houston professional sports teams, a Space City Experience, and a salute to all five branches of the military.<\/p>\n
Shell Freedom Over Texas is one of my favorite signature events, and we are thrilled to announce the return of the popular family-friendly celebration, said Mayor Sylvester Turner in a statement. I invite everyone to come and enjoy the entertainment lineup, followed by the spectacular fireworks.<\/p>\n
If you wish to skip the crowds and prefer a virtual option, ABC13 will host a live broadcast from 7 to 10 p.m. and also a livestream on abc13.com.<\/p>\n
The fun happens Monday, July 4, 2022, from 4 to 10 p.m. at Eleanor Tinsley and Sam Houston Parks. Admission is $10 per person online and at the gates; children ages 5 and under are free. The event will donate a percentage of food and beverage sales to the Houston Food Bank. Those who wish to volunteer will receive an official event T-shirt, free parking, and complimentary food and drinks.<\/p>\n
