Friends of WRR Presents a Star-Spangled Spectacular
Instead of spending your time outside, consider enjoying the powerful music of a patriotic orchestra putting on a whole show. The salute to the U.S. is led by a former director of the U.S. Marine Band, and rumors suggest that his skills reflect his experience.
The concert begins at 1:00 p.m. and features songs from diverse sources, including award-winning films, classic music, and a variety of other genres.
From the opening fanfare to the end, with a stirring rendition of "America the Beautiful," you can expect the whole concert to honor both America and its brave military, accompanied by flags to match. The location also has the acoustics to match the power of such songs, so don't worry too much about belting out the words to some of the pieces alongside your loved one, as it's sure to bring a tear to the eye of many in the audience.
If your loved one has sensitive hearing, discuss with the venue staff where the best community to sit is. Alternatively, if they need space for a wheelchair, they can investigate providing tickets to ensure you are seated in the appropriate section for your needs.
Neighborhood Morning Parades in Park Cities
Getting out of Dallas' center, consider taking in one of the parades elsewhere in the city. For example, Park Cities hosts its own parade this year, with routes covering tree-lined residential streets, offering shade to you and your family.
As these parades begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at around midday, you need not worry about the post-midday Texas sun causing problems for your loved one. As the floats wind down the road, you can watch out for those around you and ensure they keep cool.
Due to the smaller nature of a roadside parade, you may want to bring out folding chairs early to secure your space. Naturally, some locals may set them out earlier, so getting a family member to claim the space may be the best tactic.
Afterwards, you can even consider going on a family picnic, enjoying a quieter day without worrying about the stress of a late-night firework display. The location also features food, music, and plenty of entertainment for people of all ages, and thousands of people turn up to honor America and the feeling of local community. If that's more of the mood you're aiming for, it's perfect.

Addison Kaboom Town holds a fireworks display on July 3rd each year. It is well-regarded, and the experience is one of the top-rated in the nation. Then, with the entire experience very close to Dallas itself, you can expect to escape and get back to Whiterock Court quickly.
