Tradition dictates, and we’re big on tradition here in Southlake, that every Fourth of July we gather together as patriotic Americans and celebrate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. It’s a great day for family fun, good food, and, of course, fireworks. In honor of the upcoming holiday we’re here to offer a selection of fireworks shows guaranteed to deliver a sky-high wow factor.
