This year’s celebration will feature renowned country music artist, Lee Brice, as the headline performer, along with a special appearance by Grammy Award-winner Ashley McBryde. The evening’s highlight will be a spectacular “Texas-sized” fireworks show, choreographed to music, expected to commence at approximately 9:30 PM.

Parking facilities are provided at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts garage and several Theater District Parking Garages, all available for a fee. Street closures in downtown Houston will be in effect from July 2 to July 5 to ensure the safety and smooth operation of the event.
Freedom Over Texas aims to give back to the community by honoring the Battleship Texas, which is currently undergoing restoration. Additionally, a portion of food and beverage sales will benefit the Houston Food Bank, assisting local families experiencing food insecurity.
With summer temperatures soaring, attendees are advised to prepare for hot weather, with forecasts suggesting highs in the upper 90s and heat index exceeding 100 degrees. Organizers will emphasize the importance of staying hydrated, offering complimentary water throughout the event. Although coolers are prohibited, attendees may bring blankets, lawn chairs, and small umbrellas to enhance their comfort. Personal items necessary for medical needs or baby food are permissible.
