The area’s largest Independence Day celebration will move to the newly renovated Cotton Bowl this year. The event sponsored by Dr Pepper Snapple Group promises larger and higher fireworks, more games and more concessions. The FAIR PARK FOURTH presented by Friends of Fair Park will take place on Saturday, July 4, 2009, from 4:30 – 10 p.m.
The family friendly event will feature a national-class fireworks program and a patriotic presentation featuring the Dallas Wind Symphony, free admission to all the museums, kids activities, musical performances and other July 4th food favorites.
Fair Park Fourth is free and open to the public.
Fireworks by Grucci, one of the nation’s premiere fireworks pyrotechnics firms and “America’s First Family of Fireworks,” has produced unforgettable fireworks programs for the Olympic Games, Statue of Liberty Centennial, New Year’s Eve Celebrations in New York City and six consecutive Presidential Inaugurations.
The fireworks will be synchronized to choreographed music with live broadcast on WRR 101.1 FM. Viewing areas with sound will be located in the Cotton Bowl only.
Fair Park museums will offer free admission from 4:30 – 7:30 p.m. and the Texas Skyway Ride will be $5 per person or $20 per carload (cash only). Swan Rides also will be available for $10 per boat (up to 3 people per boat).

When will the fireworks take place? Is there a cost? Reserved seats?
Thanks,

I’m serious Dallas should be ashamed. What activities will you have for the kids? Where are the pictures to show online about your events?
Why do we have poor program planners? You should see what Houston has planned. A very detailed event. Here in Dallas we hear about it and take our chances to go some last minute planned event.
Get on the ball and get up to par with the rest of the cities. This year, Garland is not having anything but whenever they have had past events they have been so nice and well planned. They plan their events a year in advance. Who are the groups signing? Give some information on what the kids can do? Come on this place sucks!
