Are you ready to celebrate an unforgettable College Station Independence Day weekend?

Our inaugural I Heart America celebration – featuring spectacular fireworks and a dazzling drone show – is set for Friday, July 5, at Wolf Pen Creek Park. Packed with patriotic pride, the free event will include loads of delicious food and lively entertainment.

Gates open at 5:30 p.m., and the festivities kick off at about 6:30. We’ll have live music and more, with the fireworks and drone show starting around 9, lighting the night sky with a stunning display of colors set to patriotic music. You’ll find free parking at Post Oak Mall and accessible parking along Colgate Drive.

All Hat No Cadillac highlights the entertainment, performing your favorite country hits from the 1990s. So, bring your lawn chairs, coolers, and blankets, find a comfy spot on the amphitheater grass, and enjoy the tunes!

Food trucks from Carousel’s Soft Serve Icery and JLM Chicken & Waffles will be on-site, and you can bring your favorite snacks and drinks. Kegs or glass containers are not allowed, though. We’ll have complimentary watermelon and sausages-on-a-stick available while supplies last.

A special kids’ area with games, a train ride, and other fun activities will help keep our younger guests entertained until the main event.

For more information and updates, visit our I Heart America webpage.

Don’t miss the start of a thrilling new Independence Day weekend tradition at beautiful Wolf Pen Creek Park!
