Texas 4th of July FestivalsTexans make a really big deal out of the Fourth of July. Our guess is Texas is America's top 4th of July celebrator. With great parades and fireworks shows. The Granbury 4th of July Parade exudes small town Texas charm, while the Arlington 4th of July Parade exudes a spectacular parade. Regardless of where you are in the Lone Star State, you will find some fun 4th of July celebrating, #1 of which may be Willie Nelson's annual 4th of July Picnic.
