By July 2, 2024

Fort Worth’s Fourth, one of North Texas’ largest Independence Day celebrations, returns to Panther Island Pavilion in Fort Worth this Thursday, July 4 from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Now in its 17th year, the event will again be highlighted by the largest fireworks show in Dallas-Fort Worth, which begins at 9:30 p.m. Admission to Fort Worth’s Fourth is free.

Attendees will enjoy festival food, cold drinks, swimming and floating on the river, and live music by Poo Live Crew and Chattahoochee on the waterfront stage. Numerous activities for kids include face painting, water slides, and a zip line. Free loaner lifejackets will also be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Festivalgoers are allowed to bring their own chairs, blankets, tubes, and one unopened water bottle that can be refilled inside the venue for free by the Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD). In addition, vendors will be onsite for those who would like to purchase food or drinks at the event.

Outside coolers, food, and drinks are not allowed on the festival grounds.

Patrons are encouraged to arrive early to secure their seats for the fireworks show. In addition, the
river will be cleared at 8 p.m. in preparation for the show. Parking lots open at 3 p.m. and the gates open at 5 p.m.

Fort Worth’s Fourth is brought to you by U.S. LawShield, presented by Andrews Distributing and
