Arts organizations have some spectacular ways to celebrate Independence Day.
SHAKESPEARE DALLAS
Combine theater and fireworks for an unforgettable Independence Day celebration. Audiences for Shakespeare Dallas’ July 3 performance of Alice in Wonderland can watch the Fair Park Fireworks from their picnic blankets during the show’s intermission. Shakespeare Dallas invites guests to bring wine, beer, and a full picnic to enjoy during the show. Ticketholders can watch the fireworks with all the sparkle and none of the traffic. Gates open at 7:30 pm and performances begin at 8:30 pm. Tickets cost $20 for general admission and $15 for students and seniors.
Bring a picnic, enjoy the magic of Alice in Wonderland and see the Fair Park Fireworks during intermission on July 3.
“There is something especially magical about celebrating the Fourth of July at Shakespeare Dallas because this year the fireworks celebration happens on July 3 right in the middle of Alice in Wonderland. During intermission, audiences will step out of Wonderland and look up together as fireworks fill the sky over the park before settling back in for the second act. It feels festive and a little unexpected in the best way. One of the things I love most is that it is such an easy way to celebrate. You can park, settle into your seat, enjoy live theatre under the stars, and experience the fireworks without the usual crowds and logistics. It becomes this joyful summer evening where storytelling, community, and celebration all come together in one place,” said Jenni Stewart, Executive & Artistic Director of Shakespeare Dallas.

DALLAS CHAMBER SYMPHONY
Check out Dallas’ newest park on July 4 and enjoy a free concert from the Dallas Chamber Symphony beginning at 7 p.m. Conducted by Richard McKay, Dallas Chamber Symphony’s Music and Artistic Director, the program will feature beloved American classics performed as the sun sets over the park’s lawn and seating areas. Guests are also invited to stay for fireworks, viewable from the park’s observation deck, making for a complete evening of celebration.
This 4th of July event is Dallas Chamber Symphony’s first collaboration with Halperin Park.
“Halperin Park is a beautiful new green space for South Dallas, and we are so excited to help introduce it to the broader Dallas community on the most celebratory night of the year. As America marks its 250th anniversary, there’s something really meaningful about bringing live orchestral music outdoors, free of charge, to a neighborhood that deserves exactly this kind of investment. We hope Dallasites will come out, bring a blanket, and make it a tradition,” McKay said.
