Music, fireworks, and history will all take the stage this Independence Day weekend in San Angelo, as the community once again enjoys a spectacular music and fireworks show along the river in downtown.
The Star-Spangled Banner Concert & Fireworks will take place July 3 at the River Stage, 16 E. Ave. A, as live local entertainment appears throughout the day, with the fireworks show beginning later in the evening.
The celebration doesn’t end there; on the 4th, the annual Lake Nasworthy fireworks will take place around 9 p.m. The fireworks are launched from the Goodfellow Recreation Camp and can be viewed from all around the lake and nearby areas.
Spectators can listen to the soundtrack of the fireworks show on 94.7 KIXY-FM.
The fireworks event is organized by the Lake Nasworthy Homeowners Association.
