How better to celebrate the 4th of July than at the historic Washington-on-the-Brazos Fireworks display? (Yeah, yeah, Texas independence, American independence, not quite the same thing, but for the sake of partying, itย’s close enough.) The festivities include a western swing concert followed by a huge fireworks display, which will seem all the brighter away from Houstonย’s city lights. 8 p.m. FM 115 Road at Washington Cemetery Road, Washington.
