From the Organizer
The celebration kicks off with the inaugural Stars & Stripes Downtown 5K, racing down Houston Street through the heart of the city and finishing strong at Civic Park. From there, the momentum continues with a post-race celebration that leads directly into the Stars & Stripes Parade, bringing Houston Street to life with patriotic energy, followed by the debut of the Stars & Stripes Music & Food Fest, a high-energy showcase of live music, local flavor, and everything that makes summer in America worth celebrating.
As the night builds, the festival culminates in a dazzling fireworks spectacular, marking the first ever July 4th fireworks show at Civic Park.
One day. One downtown. An all out celebration for America’s 250th!
