The City of Houston is set to reveal plans for one of its biggest annual celebrations — Freedom Over Texas — during an announcement at City Hall on Monday afternoon.

Houston celebrates the Fourth of July with a variety of special menus and events at local eateries and lounges.

During the Fourth of July, we are often mesmerized by fireworks lighting up the sky, but we don’t always pay attention to the aftermath. While we’re frequently warned about firework safety to prevent injuries, many people don’t realize the health impacts of the smoke.

HOUSTON – Freedom Over Texas, Houston’s annual July 4th celebration, will be very different this year because of the coronavirus pandemic, but people can still enjoy the traditional firework show. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said the usual festival along Buffalo Bayou will not happen this year, but a concert by the Houston Symphony Orchestra and other artists will be streamed live and aired on television. There will be no live audience at the concert, Turner said. “Watch it on television, in your backyard, on a balcony,” Turner said. Turner encouraged anyone who is around others while watching the fireworks to wear a mask and practice social distancing.
