The town of Addison is gearing up for its annual Independence Day celebration, transforming its 4.4-square-mile area into a massive, town-wide Fourth of July festival. Recognized as one of the nation’s top fireworks shows by Travel + Leisure, Yahoo, and the American Pyrotechnics Association, the Dallas-area event promises a spectacular evening from the ground to the sky.
Entertainment and Airshow
A full evening of entertainment is scheduled to precede the fireworks. The event kicks off with the Addison Airport Airshow, where historic warbirds and stunt planes will execute a series of flyovers and aerial stunts.
Following the airshow, the CW33 Main Stage at Addison Circle Park will host live musical performances featuring the US Air Force Band of the West, Poo Live Crew, and the Emerald City All Stars.
Additional activities planned throughout the festival include a Christmas in July Elf Market, balloon artists, face painting, a patriotic playground, and a silent disco.
Food and Beverage Operations
Dozens of vendors will be stationed throughout Addison Circle Park, serving traditional carnival fare such as corndogs, kettle corn, and shaved ice.
For adult beverages, the Lady Liberty Bar will pour beer, wine, and cocktails. All food and beverage stalls are equipped to accept cash, credit cards, or legacy Addison Tasty Bucks.
Fireworks Grand Finale
The celebration will conclude with a major pyrotechnic display launching 4,000 shells into the night sky. This display has consistently ranked among the nation’s best, earning formal recognition from the American Pyrotechnics Association, Travel + Leisure, and Yahoo.
During the launch, attendees are encouraged to tune in to 100.3 Jack FM for an audio broadcast synchronized directly to the fireworks choreography.
