Families from across Central Texas will celebrate Independence Day at Vic Mathias Shores at the H-E-B Austin Symphony July 4th Concert & Fireworks!

For those that can’t attend, but wish to hear the concert while the fireworks are going off, tune in to Majic 95.5 FM. Bring blankets, chairs, family, and friends, but please leave your pets at home. The event is free and open to the public.
