Steeped in patriotism and small town charm, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea celebrates the nation's independence with its annual Fourth of July Parade and Family Fun Day. The day long celebration features a festive parade, family-friendly activities and a beachfront fireworks display.

July Fourth is going to be our nicest day weather-wise this entire week. High temperatures will be just about average for this time of year with very low humidity.

Round Rock's all-day celebrations will include a parade throughout downtown, pig races, a speech by Mayor Craig Morgan, and musical performances. The Elevation Band will take the stage at 7 p.m., and the Austin Symphonic Band will perform alongside the fireworks show around 9:30 p.m.
