When the H-E-B Austin Symphony July 4th Concert & Fireworks returns to Vic Mathias Shores this Independence Day, it's expected to draw crowds. The celebration typically draws about 100,000 people to the lawn of the park to watch the colorful fireworks display.
Show up an hour or so before the show begins at 8:30 p.m. to grab a good spot on the grass. The Austin Symphony will kick off the evening with an upbeat concert featuring some of your favorite patriotic tunes. Then at 9:30 p.m., the fireworks show begins. Sit back and watch the sky explode with sparkly hues as you remember the brave people who fought for freedom all those centuries ago. If you can't make it to the concert in person, listen to it on Majic 95.5 FM instead.
