Fourth of July Concert and Fireworks

Wow! I can't believe it is almost time once again for the Fourth of July.  But, it is though. In fact the day we celebrate our nations independence from the British is next week. That means here in Austin it is time for the 37th annual Austin Symphony's July 4th Concert and Fireworks.
The Orchestra will kick off their free concert at 8:30 PM on July 4th and the Fireworks will commence at 9:30 PM, ending at 10 PM.
