San Antonio's FREE 4th of July Party is 12 Hours Long

Your 4th of July plans just got an upgrade — and they won't cost you a thing. 🇺🇸 The San Antonio Stars & Stripes celebration is a FREE, 12-hour block party on Houston Street in downtown SA, featuring a 5K, the Independence Day Parade with 100+ groups, 30 food vendors, live country music, and a fireworks spectacular lighting up the downtown skyline for the first time in nearly a decade. Patti Santos has everything you need to know to plan your day. The night will begin with a special moment of silence and green fireworks honoring the victims of the Kerrville flooding tragedy — a reminder that San Antonio is a city that shows up for its own. And while you're downtown, look up — 70 pole banners honor our nation's Medal of Honor recipients. Scan the QR codes to learn about the heroes who make America great.
