Enjoy the tradition of the 4th of July fireworks in Dallas-Fort Worth this holiday with friends and family throughout the metroplex.
North Texans sure do love their fireworks on Independence Day. That's why if you're looking for 4th of July fireworks in Dallas, Fort Worth, or anywhere else in the metroplex, you don't have to look very far. There are, however, some celebrations that go above and beyond just a sparkly show, and that's what we've found for you and your crew.
If you plan to celebrate the 4th of July at home, dive into desserts, Independence Day crafts, and more from our list of the Best At-Home Fourth of July Activities for Kids. Plus, discover seasonal fun with free outdoor movies, concerts, and more in our Ultimate Dallas-Fort Worth Kids Summer Vacation Guide.
Just 15 minutes away from downtown Dallas lies an oasis that’s perfect for a day in the sun or a family-staycation. Omni Las Colinas recently kicked off its summer programming with live music Fridays and a DJ on Saturdays. Plus, the popular Tiki Social pop-up bar and grill will be serving custom-crafted cocktails and an island-themed menu perfect for a poolside adventure.
Free concerts throughout DFW in the summertime, where parents can pack up both a picnic and restless tots and spend an evening under the stars, are beautiful music to our ears.
Free concerts in the summer are a gift to parents. A chance to listen to good tunes? Check. An opportunity to let your kid dance their wiggles out in the great wide open? Check! Realizing that there are outdoor concerts pretty much everywhere in North Texas when the warm weather hits? Check!
These shows are mostly family-friendly, but it's always a good idea to check who's performing in advance to ensure your kids will want to stay for the whole set. Here are some great free concerts in Dallas-Fort Worth this summer, and don't forget to check out our Ultimate Dallas Kids Summer Vacation Guide for more fun things to do.

Some are simple with a few buckets and spigots, and others are a whole experience.
