4th of July Celebration

About Baytown's 4th of July Celebration

The annual 4th of July Weekend Celebration, one of the area’s highest attended festivals, celebrates American Independence Day. It is held over two days at Bicentennial Park (1001 Market Street) on the 3rd and 4th of July every year. This FREE and family friendly outdoor festival features live musical entertainment, kid’s activities, a parade, food and craft vendors, and ends with fireworks.

A great deal of our future success will be attributed to our generous sponsors! Our sponsors have the advantage of supporting events organized by the City of Baytown's Parks and Recreation Department that bring in over 40,000 attendees annually between our three (3) major concert events.

Local support is vital to this operation, as these sponsorships assist in providing attendees everything from safety and facility services to quality entertainment that brings the Baytown and surrounding communities closer together. Attendees enjoy live entertainment and have access to food, art, and service vendors throughout the events.
