<\/p>\nFORT WORTH, Texas – As the country gears up to celebrate 250 years, North Texas is also getting ready to cue up the fireworks.<\/p>\n
One of the biggest displays in North Texas will be at Fort Worth\u2019s Fourth at Panther Island Pavilion, and FOX 4 is a proud sponsor.<\/p>\n
Fort Worth\u2019s Fourth <\/p>\n
What we know:<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s Independence Day festival in Fort Worth is on Saturday, July 4. The gates open at 5 p.m. for live music, food, family fun, and, of course, a fireworks show.<\/p>\n
As of Monday, the base infrastructure is taking shape. Crews have been busy prepping the pyrotechnics and watering the grassy area along the Trinity River so that it doesn\u2019t catch fire.<\/p>\n
By midweek, Panther Island Pavilion is guaranteed to look completely different.<\/p>\n
Last year, more than 80,000 people attended the event. This year, organizers expect a slightly larger crowd because of the World Cup and because it\u2019s the nation\u2019s 250th birthday.<\/p>\n
“A lot of people are lucky enough to have the day off, but it\u2019s often on a Tuesday or Thursday. So, getting it on a Saturday with the World Cup, with the 250th anniversary, there\u2019s a lot going into play that it\u2019s going to be a busier year, even in that,” said Matt Oliver with the Tarrant Regional Water District.<\/p>\n
