Dallas 4th of July Celebration moves to Cotton Bowl
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).
