Due to the severe drought that we are experiencing in Cypress, Houston, and the majority of Texas, Bridgeland and Towne Lake have both decided to cancel their fireworks displays this year.
From the Bridgeland Life web site:
Due to the current severe drought conditions affecting our area the 4th of July Fireworks show has been postponed for a future date to be determined.
From a Towne Lake blog post:
Every year Towne Lake celebrates the Fourth of July with fireworks and community festivities.
However, due to the extreme drought that is greatly affecting Houston and the surrounding area, Towne Lake will not be able to offer the fireworks display this year. This is a precautionary decision made by Towne Lake in order to keep safety priority.
If you are in the Houston area and would like to see some fireworks, your best bet is going to be the Freedom Over Texas Fourth of July Celebration which is taking place at Eleanor Tinsley Park along Allen Parkway near downtown Houston on July 4th. There will be various music acts from 4:00 to 9:30 with fireworks starting at 9:35 PM.
Unfortunately, with Harris County banning all fireworks sales this year, this is going to be an extremely quiet July 4th in Houston.
