Celebrate freedom in The Woodlands with great food, live entertainment, children's activities and family fun at multiple locations around The Woodlands! The event culminates with one of the largest fireworks displays in the Greater Houston area.

WEATHER UPDATE: In light of unfavorable park conditions from today's rain event, the 21st Annual Red, Hot & Blue Festival has been cancelled at all locations. The Fireworks Extravaganza has been reduced to two launch locations due to recent heavy rainfall amounts that compromised the launch sites.
