Round Rock Will Be The Place To Be Come Fourth Of July

Round Rock, TX -- If you still don't know what to do for the Fourth of July, you might consider going to Round Rock.

From 10 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., the entire city will be in a party mood for the annual July Fourth Frontier Days Celebration & Sertoma July Fourth Parade. It's something of a homecoming too, as the Sertoma July Fourth Parade moves back to Downtown Main Street for its 10 a.m. start.

If you're one of the few who don't love a parade, there are activities sure to suit any taste. The Frontier Days Celebration kicks off at noon at Old Settlers Park and includes fireworks, carnival rides, jalapeno, pepper eating contest, Swifty Swine Pig Races, children’s games, Sam Bass Shootout, Movies in the Park, skydivers and so much more.

Speaking of skydiving, the Mayor Alan McGraw plans to skydive into the party. For more on that, click here.

If all that weren't enough, get this: The event is free for the entire family.

"After the parade, join us for the FREE PARD ACTIVITY ZONE featuring Caricature Artist, Face Painters & Balloon Twisters," officials write on the municipal website. "All the fun takes place at Prete Main Street Plaza right after the Parade!"
The festivities kick off with free watermelon at the Lakeview Pavilion in Old Settlers Park and include music from the Austin Symphonic Band. Vendor booths, rubber duck races and full-scale carnival rides will be featured.
