The U.S. trade war with China has sharply curbed fireworks imports. "The timing of the tariffs couldn't have hit at a worse time," one industry rep says.

Another Dallas option is Fair Park Fourth, a free event at Fair Park, home of the State Fair of Texas. The event lasts from 5:30 to 10 p.m. on Friday, July 4, and features food trucks, live music and a spectacular fireworks show you can view from the Cotton Bowl or anywhere in the park. Admission is free, but there is a parking fee.

From parades to free concerts and firework displays, here’s where to celebrate the Fourth of July in the Houston area.
