Fire in the Sky
It's time to celebrate our country's founding and the values that knit our society together: liberty and justice for all. In that spirit, all are invited to this free professional fireworks show hosted by Rep. Jason Isaac. Although the fireworks themselves are free to enjoy, tickets are also available for a VIP dinner beforehand featuring the Salt Lick, live music, local beverages, and more. The optional air-conditioned dinner helps Rep. Isaac's campaign committee with the costs of producing the fireworks show. A major portion of the proceeds from Fire in the Sky benefits the North Hays County Fire Rescue. Park gates open at 5 p.m. on July 4. Doors open for private VIP dinner at 6:30 with dinner served at 7 p.m. Fireworks will go off at dark, around 9 p.m.
