Fourth of July

It’s that time of year again when competitive eaters put their skills to the test, and the crowd goes wild—who’s ready for the hot dog showdown?

This July Fourth, ditch the usual fireworks and whip up some colorful treats that will light up your table instead.

Anyone want to come over and shoot off some Neighbor Haters? How about lighting some Freedom Flames?

Fireworks may light up the sky, but they can terrify pets. Here’s how to protect and comfort your dog or cat this July 4th.

Take a trip back in time to see more than 100 years of Fourth of July celebrations including how our troops celebrated while deployed overseas.

Don't do it! Don't post that blurry fireworks photo again this year.

2025 Lafayette Stars and Stripes, presented by LUS and LFT Fiber, will take place on Friday, July 4, 2025, at Parc International.

There's more than fireworks going off at these East Texas weekend events.
