Update: The City will hold its annual fireworks show at Old Settlers Park as scheduled, as inclement weather has passed through the area.

Family-friendly activities are scheduled throughout July 4 to celebrate Independence Day in Round Rock.

Events kick off with the Round Rock Sertoma July 4th Parade at 10 a.m. in historic downtown, featuring a new 1.5-mile route along Mays Street. This year’s parade, which will start at Mays Crossing and conclude at Sunset Drive, will feature giant helium inflatables and marching bands.

Independence Day festivities will continue as the Round Rock Parks and Recreation Department hosts Frontier Days, which will begin at noon at Old Settler’s Park, 3300 Palm Valley Blvd.

The afternoon-long event features a pepper eating contest, Sam Bass shootout, full-scale carnival rides, Swifty Swine pig races, live music from the Austin Symphonic Band, and a fireworks show starting at dark. A special Movie in the Park will feature Star Wars: the Last Jedi. For a full schedule of events, visit roundrocktexas.gov/july4.
